The most recognizable of all Paiste cymbal lines, the 2002 series is known for its bright attack, clear projection and strong ties to rock. It is also Paiste's longest-running series, with some models in continuous production since 1971.
Typifying the classic Paiste crash sound, the 2002 Medium is warm and bright with a full wash, and functions equally well as an accent crash or crash ride.
