I use this model for 3 / 4 years, I know very well my memory does not have this ability. I try quite a few other models before, sabian in the XS20, AA metal X, otherwise Zildjian ZXT, Z'Custom. But this was my first Rude Paiste cymbal.

With experience, yes, yes I would do this election for sure!

It is an extremely dirty cymbal timbre, which changes from a lot of cymbal for rock and metal that are usually very clear. Initially, it would even tend to think that his tone is really bad, when in fact it is medium. Despite all this, the attack is very frank, the volume titanic (able to cover the rest of the drumkit over your mates guitarist, bassist and singer), and very good, sustain is reasonable if one plays the cymbal occasionally. You type the cymbal, it sounds very strong, and speaks a little less hard and straight it is silent.

Nevertheless, its volume remains just a little too loudly, and repeatedly played one really loses in precision. This is the main weakness of this cymbal. Even in the metal, there's a moment or a cymbal ended up having too much volume! The only other weak point is its bell, not terrible, because frankly dry and shy to me.

For live? It stands out by his power, his chest, his attack, tone, etc. ... in short everything! As long as the room is big enough and good soundman a minimum, it is a very effective live cymbal. If the room is small cons, we'll have to type shyly from the end of the olive, but the sound is pretty bad.

After about 2 and a half, the first that I had cracked, knowing that I cracked the z'custom in 1 year, I think I can say it very durable. Luckily I was able to walk Thomann warranty, and presto, I came away with nine a year ago.

So in the end, it is a good cymbal can enrich his cymbal set with very different stamp. For the price it is a good choice, a cymbal effective and lasting. An interesting stamp, good cymbal for very heavy accent, but be careful when playing repeatedly.
