“The Paiste 2002 Cymbals are the industry standard for Rock cymbals as far as I am concerned. One listen to any Led Zeppelin or Van Halen album just solidifies that. Crispy, cutting highs, and excellent stick attack. It's hard for me to imagine a world without 2002's.“

Product Description

92% copper, 8% tin. A simple bronze alloy that helped to shape the sound of rock music beginning in the early 70's. This classic 17" Paiste Crash is made from the legendary 2002 bronze alloy that has been the industry standard among professionals for nearly half a century. These cymbals are described as "Medium" by Paiste, but they have definitely have a medium-thin feel to them. It has an immediately explosive, bright crash that conveys a warm, lively shimmer. The tone is well defined, even at softer strikes. The stick sound is washy with lively intensity and medium sustain and the integrated bell has a musical, clear cut. This cymbal is the classic rock cymbal, but would do well in any situation calling for a clear, bright crash. The 17" size is a wonderful compromise if you can't decide on a 16 or an 18. We love the tone of the 2002 Paiste cymbal line at Drum Center of Portsmouth. Check out our online demos with high quality audio.
