aiste's RUDE series hi-hats supply the power and projection you need to be heard onstage along with the sound and response to keep you in the pocket — even while blasting away at 240 bpm. The RUDE 14-inch hi-hat top is forged from cutting B8 cymbal bronze for maximum mix penetration in a stage or studio setting. This hi-hat top sports an unlathed surface for a distinctive look and focused tone, while random hammering across the surface of the cymbal really helps bring out the expression and complexity in these rock and metal standards. Mix and match it with the bottom of your choice, or pair it with the Paiste RUDE hi-hat bottom (sold separately) for the tried-and-true RUDE sound and response.
