The PUG Rough Traditional Ride Cymbal - 23” (2621g) is a handcrafted ride cymbal designed for drummers seeking a raw, expressive, and highly musical traditional ride voice. With a balanced 23” diameter and a medium-heavy weight of 2621g, this cymbal delivers a blend of clear stick definition, warm wash, and controlled sustain with a rich, organic character.

Built for players who value nuance and musicality, the Rough Traditional Ride offers a versatile response that suits a wide range of styles including jazz, indie, experimental, and modern acoustic playing. Its raw-inspired tonal profile enhances stick articulation while allowing a complex wash to develop under dynamic playing. Available from Sky Music Australia, this is a cymbal designed for expressive performance and tonal individuality.

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.
