RARE Vintage Paiste PRE-SERIAL Factory Red Label “MEDIUM” in the delectable and damn-near-impossible-to-find 22” size.

According to Paiste, the magic of the Medium is:
“MEDIUM cymbals are the perfect all-round cymbals. They could also be called MEDIUM-THIN or RIDE-CRASH. They have been designed to unite, in one cymbal, several sound characteristics, so that they can be used for a variety of effects.” 

Dark, super smooth, rare, aged over half a century, one cymbal that can do it all.

And they’re not lying! This piece is from the golden era that put Paiste on the map.

A beautiful and thinner 2790 grams provides the perfect elixir of dark, smooth, subtle chime-like attack with that famous shimmer, and miraculously it still crashes like a dream! That’s what happens with a half-century-old thinner 602.

Sings from a whisper to a roar.  Mellow Main Ride. Billowing Huge Full Crash. Shimmering Crash Ride.

Use this Rare 22” Vintage Pre Serial 602 for absolutely anything. And the 22s are quite hard to find these days.

Beautiful condition. Playable. Collectible. And STILL less than the regular big box store re-issue version.

You can’t re-issue a life lived.
