Paiste's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Novo Chinas are yet another Paiste innovation. These cymbals are designed so that the bell and downward edge of the China are on the same side, creating a unique tonal character. These Chinas were more exotic than trashy, with a pang sound that was deep and complex rather than jarring. Sustain was long yet even, and although it was made for louder environments, I felt the 20" Novo ($450) was quite dynamic and performed well at medium volume or in a textural atmosphere.
The 20" RUDE China ($450) was very dark, pingy, weighty, and explosive. This is a no-nonsense China meant to scream and shout. It's the cymbal equivalent of a two-year-old child's full-blown temper tantrum."
