Top 10 Cymbals for Heavy Metal

Paiste rude. Where do I begin? Paiste is hands down the best cymbal brand because they have a cymbal for everything. Vintage Rock? Giant beat. Rock in general? 2002. Classic Rock? Formula 602. Paiste Signature Dark Energy is good for literally everything, and it is what I use. Now, Paiste Rude has a very washy, loud sound perfect for any metal music, whether that be progressive, heavy, or punk music, like hardcore. Paiste designed a cymbal specifically for metal, which no other brand has done. When I do play metal, of course I use Paiste rude.

Sabian makes the best cymbals, period. They produce a huge range of cymbals for all different kinds of styles, and every single one of them sounds amazing.

I love playing mine. They sound great.
