This is the best sounding china cymbal i have ever heard, It's very loud and ear plugs would be recommended, in my opinion this cymbal outclasses every other cymbal in the rude family including the powerful 20" power ride when crashed or struck with the bead of the stick. This is by far the recommended cymbal for those who are serious about wanting to perform metal/death metal music.
I break at least one cymbal a year. but the rude classic is a beast. I've had the cymbal for 3 years now and its still plays like new. This cymbal is great for everything. Use it for metal, or jazz. The articulation of the cymbal is insane. Great for accents. This cymbal is a little pricey, but for a serious drummer it's a great investment.
I got this china cymbal last month and did a show, and it was a beautiful cymbal. It had a perfect balance between high and low, and it works well with my 22" china. If you need a simulation, it is just slightly lower tonally that the 18" china boy high.
This china has such an awesome sound to it. When you hit the rim of the cymbal it has a dark crash/gong like sound. When you hit the part of the cymbal where it starts to invert, it makes a deafening cracky crash sound. An awesome cymbal overall. Definately for loud players.
The Paiste rude china cymbal has one of the greatest sounds I have heard.
