Paiste 2002 series cymbals are crafted using Paiste's proprietary 2002 Alloy. These 2002 cymbals sound full and bright, with strong presence and projection. They have a crisp, focused character, and articulately respond to your stick attack. Above all, 2002 series cymbals are eminently musical. The 2002 Precision series cymbals are made from the same 2002 alloy using a streamlined manufacturing process to give you 2002 sound at a more affordable price.
Paiste - a tradition of innovationHeadquartered in Switzerland, Paiste meets the creative needs of drummers and percussionists with innovative cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments. Founded at the beginning of the twentieth century, Paiste lays claim to a number of cymbal firsts, including the first use of 8% bronze, the wavy-edged hi-hat bottom cymbal, the bell-less flat ride, unlathed hammered cymbals, color-coated cymbals, China cymbals with a downturned edge, and the invention of their 2002 Bronze Alloy. World-class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta have long relied on Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds - and you can, too!
