92% copper, 8% tin. A simple bronze alloy that helped to shape the sound of rock music beginning in the early 70's. This 18" Paiste China is made from the legendary 2002 bronze alloy that has been the industry standard among professionals for nearly half a century. The Paiste 2002 China Cymbal is an exotic, powerful cymbal with a traditionally shaped bell that will add new dimensions to your musical palette. It has a bright, trashy bow crash with serious projection. The stick sound is articulate and pangy with nice variety when played in different areas of the cymbal. We love the tone of the 2002 Paiste cymbal line at Drum Center of Portsmouth. Check out our online demos with high quality audio.
