The PUG Rough Traditional Ride Cymbal - 21.5” (2288g) is a handcrafted ride cymbal designed to deliver a raw, expressive interpretation of the traditional ride voice. With its slightly smaller 21.5” diameter and medium-heavy weight of 2288g, this cymbal provides a focused balance of stick definition, warm wash, and controlled sustain with a distinctly organic character.

Voiced for drummers who value texture, nuance, and musical complexity, the Rough Traditional Ride responds with clear articulation under the stick while developing a rich, evolving wash as dynamics increase. Its raw-inspired tonal character makes it well suited to jazz, indie, experimental, and modern acoustic applications where personality and expression are essential. Available from Sky Music Australia, it is a highly musical and expressive ride cymbal built for creative performance.

Based in Sydney Australia, drummer / educator James Waples has been forging his own path as a cymbalsmith under the branding PUG Cymbals since 2019. As an active musician he has performed and toured with Australian / international jazz greats for the past 20 years. James currently divides his time between PUG Cymbals and as the drummer for indie artist Donny Benét. PUG Cymbals is focused on creating unique cymbals influenced by the great companies / independent cymbalsmiths of the past as well as exploring contemporary sounds for the future.
