The ultimate ride cymbal. That's what Slayer and Grip Inc. drummer Dave Lombardo has to say about his signature ride, the Paiste RUDE 22 Power Ride The Reign. Lombardo needed a cymbal with the dynamics, articulation, and projection to power his later musical projects. That's when he, a 35-year Paiste veteran, went to his vault and pulled the ride he used on Slayer's 1986 Reign in Blood. Both he and Paiste were floored. The Paiste RUDE Power Ride The Reign is a loving tribute to this iconic cymbal, and is sure metal fans of all ages will be thrilled to add to their own collections.
