- 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.
