Another fine quality Paiste product! I own Paiste cymbals from the Sound Formula and Signature line and this was my first 2002 cymbal. It is every bit as good as these other two lines (Sound Formula no longer in production).

So happy with the sound of this cymbal! I can use it as a left hand ride with brushes, so now I have a crash/ride available for both hands. Sweet bell like sounds when cymbals tapped with stick individually (used in jazz ballads). I have not tried it as a ride with sticks yet as I'm sure it has a bit too much wash for good ride definition -- it's a crash, after all. Decay is medium. I played Zildjian dry cymbals for years this is not that, not a fast crash, but instead decays reasonably. Perfect chick. Easy to control (I am an intermediate player, not flashy). Elegant, sophisticated sound. I play jazz and soft rock. Instant upgrade to how good a drummer I am ;)

Paiste is the best

I've play drums for over 40 years it seems to me that the Zildjian brand cymbal is not what it use to be. I am very happy with my complete change to Paiste 20002. I still like the A sound edge hi hat better than the Paiste. I do have a 17" A custom that is a one of a kind find, if you know what I mean.

Chase was great help and proffessional in finding what i needed.
