The Paiste 2002 China Type Cymbal in 18" delivers the exotic, powerful sound that has defined rock music since the early 1970s.

The bright, trashy bow crash cuts through any mix with serious projection, while the articulate, pangy stick sound offers rich tonal variety depending on where you strike the cymbal surface.
