Classic hard rock from the 80's and Paiste 2002 cymbals go together like tight leather pants and big hair. Alex Van Halen's signature ride cymbal, "Reverend Al's Big Ride" is the embodiment of his gigantic sound and technical mastery. This bold, musical ride cymbal is 24 inches of silky smooth stick articulation, with deep, warm sustain and brilliant projection. Medium thin weight means you can get a gigantic, usable crash and the bell will cut right through your bass player's leopard print spandex.
