The legendary sound that defined classic rock is captured in the Paiste 22" 2002 Ride Drum Cymbal, a versatile powerhouse that has shaped the sonic landscape of electric music since 1971. This general–purpose ride cymbal excels in classic rock settings, producing a warm, full, lively, and brilliant sound with balanced feel and medium sustain. The 2002 series cymbals became the definitive voice of rock music and continue to be heard across virtually every style of electric music today.

Crafted from CuSn8 Bronze (also known as 2002 Bronze), these cymbals demonstrate remarkable versatility across diverse musical genres including blues, punk, hard rock, heavy and progressive metal, fusion, country rock, ska, rockabilly, funk, R&B, soul, and gospel. The sound characteristics are brilliant and clear, warm and strong, with powerful projection that cuts through any mix.

Swiss–headquartered Paiste has been meeting the creative needs of drummers and percussionists since the early 20th Century, pioneering numerous cymbal innovations including the first use of 8% bronze, wavy–edged hi–hat bottom cymbals, bell–less flat rides, and their proprietary Signature Bronze Alloy. World–class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta have long trusted Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds, making these instruments the choice of professionals worldwide.
