The Paiste 2002 Black 'Big Beat' 20" Cymbal pushes the boundaries of the legendary 2002 series into exciting new sonic territory. Built on the foundation of Paiste's celebrated 2002 Alloy, this cymbal maintains the brilliance, clarity, precision and strength that has made the series famous, whilst introducing additional warmth, depth and complexity that sets the Big Beat models apart.
This medium thin weight cymbal offers remarkable versatility across medium low to loud volume settings, making it equally at home in live performance and studio environments. The sound character is distinctly warm, deep, brilliant and lush, with a medium wide range and complex mix that responds beautifully to your playing dynamics. You'll find luscious crashes that fade swiftly, combined with an airy, defined ping that sits perfectly over the wide multi–layered wash.
The multifunctional design makes this cymbal particularly appealing for drummers seeking one instrument that can handle both crash and ride duties effectively. With its lively intensity, medium sustain, and integrated bell character that remains broad and musical, the Big Beat delivers voluminous sound without excessive aggression, making it well–suited for a wide range of musical applications.
