Now, I have a Planet Z kit of cymbals and a ZBT splash and China. I was wanting one more crash and maybe even upgrade alot of my other cymbals.. getting new hats and a china. ride all that. Anyway, I wanted to know if Paiste Rude cymbals would be a good idea...

14" RUDE Sound Edge Hi-Hats
16" RUDE Thin Crash
17" RUDE Thin Crash
18" RUDE China
20" RUDE Power Ride

what do you think? Cheers.

they are really good cymbals if u are playing louder, harder music like metal. If ur a jazz or pop drummer then I don't suggest them. If all you are currently doing is practicing in ur house and not in a band, they might be a little on the loud as crap side.

I'm a Metal drummer. I love playing loud and fast. And, I do have my kit inside where I practise but I don't really use it when other people are here. And yeah, I'm looking for a band.
If the normal cymbals are loud... I can't wait to hear the China...

- 17" RUDE Thin Crash

- 20" 2002 Novo China (Novo's are absolutley frickin' sweet)

Thanks man, I don;t have the money for them right away but I plan on upgrading completely by the end of year. I wanna get a 17" Thin Crash first.

Buy it I just bought the new Paiste RUDE 19" Thin Crash and it owns! I kill everyone with it!

I dont like RUDED's at all. They dont sound musical too my ears. They're too loud for my taste.








_________________

i'm not a fan. very one dimensional cymbals. i would suggest 2002s or signatures over rudes any day.








_________________

i don't like them. a drummer in a band we toured with played all rudes and i didn't like the sound of them. the china especially, it didn't sound good to me at all.

if you're looking for cutting cymbals that still sound musical and won't kill those who surround you, you might want to look into Ufip Tigers. I know overhere they are pretty hard to find, but they are very nice and sweet cymbals, yet they will cut through every kind of music, I've heard they are very efficient in metal too.

I talked to a guy who played in the toy dolls for 2 years, and he used strictly tigers back then. He told me how he brought Rudes to a rehearsal once, cause his Tigers were stolen, and the entire band looked over and said "dude, those cymbals suck compared to your normal ones". True story!

Gretsch, Wooding, Ludwig, Sabian. random hardware.

Never liked the Rude series but I like their 2002's and their dark energy cymbals

I think Rudes are definitely worth considering, but are pies you should hear in person before buying them. As others have said, they are quite loud, and not a good fit for some styles of music. I have the 18" china, and a 24" Rude ride I bought years ago. I love them both. I also have a 17" crash that I rarely use, as it 's not very musical and never appealed to my ears.

That being said, I have played on the new rude thin crashes and I think they sound great, and I still want some Rude hi-hats. And ofcourse, Paiste has several other lines you should check out. I have a mix of 2002, Rude, Dimensions and Signature's, and out of approximately 17 cymbals, there is only 1 (the 17" Rude crash) that I'm not crazy about.

I like the rude china and thin crashes.
Just to throw it out there, try some of their new ALPHA stuff. Versatile, durable, good pricing, and a wide range of stuff.

Other than that I would say some of the heavier 2002 series. Depends on what sticks you're using really.
