Designed in collaboration with legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, the Formula 602 Modern Essentials series blends the warmth and musicality of the classic 602 line with modern projection and complexity. This 22” Modern Essentials China is one of the most unique and versatile effects cymbals Paiste has ever produced.

At 2006g, this example is on the lighter side for a 22” China, allowing it to open up quickly with excellent responsiveness and a slightly darker, more nuanced voice.
