Paiste 10" Rude Series Splash as X Hats
I play Paiste cymbals to the exclusion of other brands, so the review Is a honest reflection of my use as X Hats ( mini hats ), as suggested by Paiste on their product website.
Individually the cymbals are as described by Paiste and fulfill the splash role in a medium to loud environment, not as rounded as the Signature series but effective as the Rude series definition describes.
Purchased as a X Hat pair, needing to have a different sound to a Signature pair, more earthy, I was disappointed in that the individual characteristics were all but lost when paired. The stick definition , using AHEAD sticks, was not at all as a Paiste Hi-Hat is, either as fully/partially open or closed. It was musically, non Paiste, Used in both band and vocal accompanying situations, there was no real definition and the sound created was as 2 tamed individual cymbals not acting as one H-Hat. The volume was available but the clear defined paired sound was just not definable. I changed to the Signature series 10 inch Hi-Hats, and the change was noticeable not just to myself but band members and vocalists.
So as individual cymbals, they are as described by Paiste but for this Paiste player, I cannot agree with a recommendation to use as Hi-Hats( mini hats)

A splash that doesn't get drowned
As the title says, this thing doesn't get drowned by other cymbal's or instruments. It cuts through with ease and explosive power, as with the rest of the rude series, you can play these with great ease and use them in a very flexible and dynamic way in multiple styles of music.
