General

The pro-level Paiste 2002 Series crashes have been designed to deliver that instantly-recognisable, world-famous classic rock crash sound. That being said, the cymbals in the series are just as effective in countless other styles as well as in the studio. This 16-inch model shapes warm, full sound and offers a balanced playing feel alongside great stick response.

The Paiste 2002 Series Cymbals

Entire generations of rock drummers have sat behind the potency of Paiste 2002-Series cymbals. In 1971, these now renowned cymbals were first introduced and from the very start, have been made using B8 bronze - or more specifically - CuSn8 Bronze. The 2002 was the first pro-series to use an alloy of such quality and ever since, B8 bronze has also been affectionately referred to as 2002 Bronze. Each cymbal shapes that classic rock character, but due to the balance of their shimmering, transparent, warm and above all, powerful sound, they can be used to play pretty much any style.
