Overview

The Paiste 22″ Rude Power Ride “The Reign” is a formidable and intensely powerful ride cymbal, meticulously engineered for musicians operating in the realm of heavy, aggressive music genres. Developed in close collaboration with speed metal pioneer Dave Lombardo, this cymbal is not designed for subtle nuance; rather, it is built to deliver a loud, cutting, and commanding presence that can slice through the densest, loudest musical arrangements. It is the definitive choice for drummers who demand a cymbal with immense power and a distinct, metallic character.

This 22-inch ride embodies the RUDE series ethos: bright, metallic, full, and deeply powerful. It features a complex mix and a fairly narrow frequency range, ensuring that its sound is focused, raw, and highly articulate. Whether you are driving relentless eighth-note patterns or unleashing a massive crash, “The Reign” provides a heavy, defined sound that demands attention, making it an essential tool for extreme metal and high-energy rock performances.

Musicians seeking a cymbal with a strong, clear ping layered over a deep, full, raw wash will find their perfect match in this Paiste creation. Its heavy feel and powerful bell character allow for dynamic playing, offering both a sharp attack and a long, satisfying sustain that cuts through the mix without becoming muddy.
