Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: They are "icy" sounding, very metallic. They feature large hammer marks, maybe about the size of a golf ball, or close to it. The Reflector finish looks great. It's not often I say something negative about a Paiste product, but I can honestly say I didn't care much for these. They just seemed too harsh for my tastes. They are great for hard rockers and metalheads, where they will be heard well in those aggressive frequencies. I normally only keep hats that are versatile enough to be used across different musical genres, and these aren't so.

Review: "The 2002 Wild hi-hats consist of a medium-heavy top and a heavy bottom. The foot chick sound was crisp, dry, and sturdy, which complemented the frostbite attack of the stick and the harsh unruliness of half-open hits.
The RUDE Wild hi-hats darkened up the mood slightly, while keeping an intensity and ire that pierced unforgivingly. The medium-top/heavy- bottom combination created a barking chick sound and unleashed a howl when played open."
