  • Here’s a gorgeous sounding over half-century old PAISTE 602. And it’s THINNER too.  It sounds absolutely gorgeous!  Have a listen.  
  • Don’t spend $760 on a reissue.  This is the original!  
  • And yes, it’s thinner and darker than the factory Medium Ride. I would say this is the rare 602 20” “MEDIUM” at this weight.  And that’s exactly how it plays - like a Full Crash or Light Ride. It crashes as well as it rides. 

  • It’s sounds like it’s 1968. 

  • This 20” is thinner than the Vintage 602 Rides - and it crashes exceptionally well!  The edges are even supple and slightly bendable. 
  • Must have for a studio!  Records so well! 

  • At a perfect 2158 grams this 20” provides the Goldilocks elixir of dark, subtle chime-like attack with a smooth, responsive tone and gorgeous cymbal swells and crashes.  

  • Clean sounding and articulate and has a semi-dry attack that the Re-issues lack - compliments of the 55 year old aging and patina. 

  • Crash on it for a FULL wall-of-white noise roar that remains lush and dark! 

  • Sounds like it’s right off a Led Zeppelin record. Clean. Shimmering. Semi-dark. 

  • Comfortable from jazz to classic rock. Low volumes to loud.  
  • Darker, lower-pitched, solid bell. This beauty has aged well over 50 years, play it with love and it will serve you well. 

  • Golden patina. No cracks. Great shape for being over half a century old and thinner! 

  • Very rare at this weight - especially as a Pre - Serial. 

  • And not $760 for the Re-issue! 

  • It’s a lot more fun to play the real one - you can’t re-issue a life lived.
