Frequently Asked Questions
The Paiste 2002 is one of the most iconic cymbal series in rock drumming history, introduced in 1971. Known for its bright, powerful, and cutting tone, the 2002 has been used by professional drummers across rock, pop, and metal for over 50 years. The range includes multiple crash voices, ride cymbals, hi-hats, China cymbals, splashes, and the premium Black Label Big Beat sub-series.
Yes - John Bonham of Led Zeppelin famously used Paiste 2002 cymbals, and their bright, powerful sound is heard on some of the greatest rock recordings ever made. The 2002's association with Bonham is one of the reasons it remains one of the most sought-after professional cymbal series in the world.
The Paiste 2002 Thin Crash has a faster response and lighter feel - ideal for sensitive playing and quick accents. The Medium Crash offers a fuller, more balanced tone suited to a wide range of playing styles. The Power Crash delivers maximum volume and projection for the loudest playing environments.
