Paiste kicks off the year 2005 with an addition to its professional class cymbals that might be construed as a contradiction by adding Thin Crashes to its RUDE series.

The RUDE series was developed in the late 70's, when Rock and Metal were nearing temporary maturity and were decidedly side-stepped by the new punk genre. This new form of music singularly distinguished itself by disregarding all the rules and by establishing a brazen, aggressive sound all of its own. mirrored the unconventional trend of the time. As today's popular music firmly roots itself in the history of Rock, Metal and Punk and continues to expand these genres, RUDE cymbals not only continue to be very appropriate sounds for drummers, they also represent the original article.

RUDE Thin Crashes were added to provide today's drummers in these genres with an additional choice in the RUDE sound -- cymbals with that same brazen, audacious sound that can be played and controlled with more differentiation. Paiste now offers them in all sizes from 16" to 20".
