- A gorgeous looking and SOUNDING rare Red Label PAISTE!
- And this 3000 is not the easiest cymbal to find! They only made it for a brief few years.
- Look at the pics! Beautiful. Very deep and dark coloring on this RUDE. Deep bronze and golden sienna raw look with the iconic red logo.
- The weight is exactly 3000 grams. Quite auspicious!!! A 3000 and 3000 grams.
- As many of you know, Paiste created the RUDE series in 1980/81 to quench the thirst of rock and punk players (although there were a few jazz enthusiasts who used them too.) The unlathed and heavily hammered Rudes offered an unprecedented explosive cut and sustain that held up both sonically and structurally in loud volume settings. The Rude series went through many logo changes but always kept it's raw bell, unlathed surface, and talent for explosive attack and maximum projection.
- And this Paiste 3000 RUDE 20” Power Ride is no exception. It plays like…a POWER RIDE. The attack is aggressive and the wash is fairly FULL (although DRIER than the Crash Ride) and semi-dark.... definitely darker than a 2002. It's more raw sounding as well. The bell is unhammered and unlathed and...
- SOLID!!! Very Stewart Copeland sounding DING! What Paiste built their rock empire on!
- Fantastic projection - yet still fairly dark!! Great for loud to louder to loudest. Perfect wall of white noise when crashed upon.
- Check out the hammering on the underside all around the edge! Classic ORIGINAL RUDE.
- Iconic Red Label Rude in great shape. Nice patina built up and naturally beefs up the attack.
- Much more attitude than the nearly $500 Re-issue.
