  • Here's an easy one...A new Paiste 602 20" Medium will set you back $605! That’s not a typo! The are-Issue is $605! 

  • Well why not get THE ORIGINAL Vintage 602 MEDIUM from the 1960s !  For a hell of a lot less!! The actual RARE Vintage RED LABEL "Medium"....none of this "Re-issue" horsecrap.

  • And this ain’t the heavier Ride. 

  • This particular one is THINNER and LIGHTER sounding with a smoothness to it. And it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find these days.  

  • Many 20” 602s from this era are in the 2400 gram weight range and offer a chime-like Ride tone, because most of them are “Medium Rides.”

  • NOT THIS ONE. Shave off 250 grams and what you get is this rare, Factory Red Ink Stamped “MEDIUM” that is light, and airy sounding when used as a ride. It has that light 602 shimmer!!

  • Golden patina that chills it out beautifully. 

  •  A thin 2196 grams makes this 20” live up to its name, - “MEDIUM”…

  • Not a “MEDIUM RIDE.” But a “MEDIUM” meaning this 20” falls into that classic Paiste Multi Application place, Crash - Ride or Crash/Ride, like a Giant Beat.  And it is indeed thinner and more crashable. 

  • Gorgeous FULL Crash tone. I mean amazing! Like insanely great. 

  • Amazing, deep, fanned-out style hammering on this particular 20”.  The surface is rippled and waved. Very beautiful! It looks like a kaleidoscope. 

  • Subtle, slightly complex, Light Ride tone or thinner Crash Ride tone.  Fairly dark with that famous SMOOTH Vintage 602 clean tone. Strong bell that cuts quite well - great 60s Rock tone. 

  • A lighter sounding, much thinner 602 20” that’s half a century old. 

  • No issues.  Great condition the a 50 year old patina. A killer collectible Original 602 from when Led Zeppelin was just forming. That’s pretty great! 

  • Don’t pay more for less. Get the RARE Original Vintage “Medium.”
