16" Paiste 2002 Medium Crash Cymbal

Product Description

The Paiste 2002 Medium 16" is a crash cymbal from one of rock history's most legendary series, cast in CuSn8 bronze (2002 Bronze). It delivers a bright, powerful sound with strong projection, and works equally well live and in the studio.

Sound Character

Paiste describes the sound as brilliant, clear, warm, strong, musical and highly precise, with a high energy level and powerful projection. The stick attack is fairly washy with lively intensity, and the cymbal has an integrated bell that adds a distinct edge to the overall sound.

Construction

The cymbal is cast in CuSn8 alloy, also known as "2002 Bronze", with a medium heavy thickness that gives a medium to loud volume range. That makes it a robust workhorse cymbal that handles hard playing without losing character.

Uses

The 2002 Medium works for music from medium-soft to loud, both live and in the studio. It's a classic choice for classic rock, blues, punk, hard rock, heavy metal and most modern metal styles, as well as crossover, country rock, ska, rockabilly, funk, R&B, soul, gospel and related genres.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a cymbal that handles higher volumes without becoming thin or losing character, and that has played a central role in the sound of rock since 1971.
