Since the dawn of rock music, the Paiste 2002 series has been the sonic backbone for countless legendary drummers, and this 20" China continues that proud tradition. This medium–weight cymbal brings together the perfect balance of volume and control, sitting comfortably in the medium to loud range while maintaining excellent responsiveness across all playing dynamics.
The sound character is distinctly medium bright with a full, exotic quality that cuts through any mix with its fairly trashy edge. You’ll find a complex tonal palette that works brilliantly as both a full–sounding crash and a complex, trashy ride cymbal. The fairly pingy stick sound combines with lively intensity and medium sustain, while the integrated bell character ensures seamless tonal transitions across the entire surface.
This is the definitive classic rock china sound that has shaped generations of music. With its wide range and complex mix of overtones, the 2002 20" China remains an essential piece for any serious drummer looking to capture that authentic rock cymbal voice that made this series legendary.
