- Here’s a Rare REAL DEAL Vintage 602!! A 60-year-old light and airy sounding Early 602 from the first decade of production!
- And being a hard-to-find smaller 18” is very responsive and has great control. Don’t spend more on the “re-issue.”
- Get the real one with the tone that put Paiste on the map. Many drummers of the 60s and 70s specifically used the 18” Paiste 602 - this was one of the main ride cymbals on myriad recordings.
- What’s fascinating about this particular 18” is that it has a distinctive light complexity to it. But being the smaller sized 18”, it has a quick response and remains controlled.
- This beauty has that hallmark Vintage 602 rippled wavy FANNED out hammering you see on some of these early 602 gems.
-
1632 grams and it plays like a Mellow Light Ride.
- This weight gives it a solid stick definition but the wash remains airy.
-
Amazing for very low to medium volumes. Can be quite capable at loud volumes when crashed upon. It is 1626 grams after all.
- No issues. Fantastic shape for being over 50 years old.
