Medium 18” china cymbal from RUDE "Novo" series that was inspired by the revolution of punk and metal during the late 1970’s and continues to be the leading choice of sound for raw, merciless and powerful musical energy in rock, metal and punk and other heavy genres. This is an exotic model that also offers the sound and function of a crash cymbal – its unique shape makes both the bell and downward turned china edge accessible at once. The cymbal is made of the CuSn8 Bronze alloy, also known as “2002 Bronze”, and delivers bright, silky, metallic, slightly trashy and very powerful sound. It provides wide range and fairly clean mix, fairly long, even sustain and comfortable, responsive and somewhat soft feel. With its strong, sizzling and deep layered china sound, this model is perfectly suited for any styles of rock music and for other unique applications and percussion settings.
