Paiste 2002 14" Crash Cymbal – Bright, Explosive Rock Sound

The Paiste 2002 14" Crash Cymbal delivers the legendary bright, cutting tone that defined rock music since the early 1970s. Crafted from Paiste's iconic 2002 bronze alloy—a 92% copper and 8% tin composition—this cymbal has remained the professional standard for nearly 50 years. Despite being classified as "medium," it features a responsive medium-thin profile that produces an immediately explosive crash with warm, lively shimmer and excellent clarity even at lower volumes.

This versatile crash excels in rock applications while remaining suitable for any musical context requiring a clear, bright attack. The stick sound is characteristically washy with vibrant intensity and moderate sustain, making it responsive to both aggressive and nuanced playing styles. Whether you're building a professional kit or upgrading your cymbal selection, the 2002 series offers the proven tone quality and durability that working drummers trust.
