Review: "The RUDE Wild Crashes are medium-heavy models, so they're a bit heavier than their 2002 Wild counterparts. The stick sound was fuller and more defined, and the cymbals were a bit more animated. They sustained longer, with a meaty wash, which made them great for filling up space as crash/rides. Because of their added magnitude, I felt the smaller 17" and 18" RUDE Wild cymbals were a bit more versatile than the larger 19" and 20" ones. But if you're looking for maximum volume, projection, and moxie, go for the latter."
