18" 2002 Power Crash, Paiste

Product Description

The Paiste 2002 Power Crash is an 18" crash cymbal made from CuSn8 alloy, also known as "2002 Bronze". It's built on the same principles as the classic 2002 cymbals from the early 70s, delivering a brilliant, clear, and warm sound with high energy and powerful projection. A solid choice if you play anything from classic rock to modern metal and want a cymbal that cuts through.

• Powerful projection with a strong, musical sound
• Heavy weight for high volume without losing musicality
• Fairly washy attack with lively intensity
• Integrated bell for extra definition on the playing surface

Sound Character

The sound is described as brilliant, clear, and warm, while also being strong and very precise. The attack is fairly washy with a lively intensity, giving the cymbal character without becoming messy. It has a heavy weight and a volume range of medium to very loud, so it holds up well when things get loud.

Use Cases

The 2002 Power Crash suits medium-soft to loud music, both live and in the studio. It works in 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 various subgenres in between.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a crash cymbal with history and proven character – one that handles high volume without losing musicality, and works just as well in the rehearsal room as on stage or in the studio.
