General

The sheer presence of the sound of the Paiste 2002 18-inch crash is enough to evoke an intense '70s classic-rock themed flashback. Full and brilliant, this cymbal is capable of matching up to blues, hard rock, metal, funk, R&B, alternative, indie, and any other style you'd care to dream up. The immense versatility of this classic crash lies in an excellent balance and comfortable response that's best combined with a full pack of other professional-grade 2002-Series cymbals.

Paiste's 2002 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 has 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.

Paiste 2002 18-inch Crash

Wrote the following about Paiste 2002 18-inch Crash
Die goede oude 2002 bekkens.. ze blijven een lust voor het oor. Vooral geschikt voor de wat stevigere muziek zoals rock en hardrock. Mooie heldere klank die goed blend met een rockgitaar. De 2002 serie loopt al héél lang en dat ie nog steeds verkrijgbaar is zegt waarschijnlijk al genoeg. Ik gebruikte deze crash al in de jaren 80!
