Paiste 2002 Big Beat 21Inch Cymbal

The Paiste 21 Inch 2002 Big Beat Drum Cymbal brings a modernised interpretation of legendary sound to your drum kit. This crash/ride cymbal produces deep, warm, complex, and vibrant tones that work brilliantly across musical genres. The sensitive and responsive feel suits drummers at any skill level, from professional to novice. Its beautiful bell sound combines with a lush, warm crash featuring quick fade and nicely defined ping, making it versatile for both crash and ride applications in most musical settings.

The 2002 Big Beat represents Paiste’s fresh take on their iconic 2002 sound while preserving the legendary heritage. These cymbals showcase a distinctly new hammering pattern for the 2002 family, along with a slightly darkened, semi–matted finish and simplified black logos that distinguish the Big Beat series. This design approach takes the classic 2002 sound into new territory whilst maintaining the timeless qualities that made the original series famous.

Headquartered in Switzerland, Paiste has been meeting the creative needs of drummers and percussionists since the beginning of the twentieth century with innovative cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments. The company pioneered numerous cymbal innovations including the first use of 8% bronze, wavy–edged hi–hat bottom cymbals, bell–less flat rides, unlathed hammered cymbals, colour–coated cymbals, China cymbals with downturned edges, and their signature bronze alloy. World–class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta rely on Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds.
