Paiste 18 inch 2002 China Cymbal

The Paiste 18" 2002 China Cymbal brings exotic power and traditional craftsmanship together in one exceptional instrument. This cymbal features a classically shaped bell and produces a bright, trashy sound with outstanding projection capabilities. The medium to loud volume range makes it versatile for various musical applications, while the fairly pingy stick sound adds character to your playing.

What sets this china cymbal apart is its remarkable sound variety across different playing areas. Each strike produces a complex mix of tones, giving drummers the flexibility to create diverse sonic textures within a single cymbal. The bright and trashy characteristics ensure your accents cut through any mix with clarity and presence.

Crafted from CuSn8 bronze, this cymbal offers the warm, energetic tone that the 2002 series is renowned for. The material choice contributes to its bright sonic character while maintaining the musical precision required for both live performances and studio recording sessions. The heavier construction of this model provides increased volume compared to the original classic series, making it ideal for high–energy musical situations that demand both power and musicality.
