General

The Paiste 2002 20" ride could very well be the ideal ride cymbal for serious rock drummers. As such, it should come as no surprise that this rich, bright-sounding cymbal is part of the successful 2002 series of cymbals, which are inspired by the classic rock genre. Paiste's professional 20" 2002 ride combines a rich, clear wash with a well-defined ping. Despite its rock-oriented design, it's balanced so well that it's just as valid for other genres, both live on stage and in the studio.

Paiste's 2002 cymbals

Whole generations of rock drummers have grown up with the Paiste 2002 cymbals. Introduced in 1971, these cymbals are made of B8 bronze (CuSn8). The Paiste 2002 series was the first pro series to use this high-quality bronze alloy, which is now sometimes referred to as '2002 Bronze'. While these cymbals were mainly inspired by classic rock music, they're certainly also suitable for many other genres thanks to their bright, clear, warm and powerful sound.

Wrote the following about Paiste 2002 20" ride cymbal

Die goede oude 2002 bekkens.. ze blijven een lust voor het oor. Vooral geschikt voor de wat stevigere muziek zoals rock en hardrock. Maar toch is dit bekken verrassend veelzijdig. 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 ride al in de jaren 80! De bel is vergeleken veel moderne rockbekkens wat klein maar wel helder en duidelijk hoorbaar. Maar waar deze ride het vooral van moet hebben is het prachtige ritmegeluid van het blad. Heerlijk!
