Paiste Prototype 2002 + Dark Energy Craftsmanship 20” Ride 2335 g DARK Lower Pitched CLEAN

Take a Paiste 2002 20” and blend in some Dark Energy style circular hammering and craftsmanship and

VIOLA!!  You have this darker, fairly complex sounding PROTOTYPE Paiste.  

As you can hear, this Proto plays like a darker, lower pitched, more complex sounding 2002 Ride. And what a beautiful thing that is!!!

It makes the perfect compliment for any 2002 because it sounds like the not-so-distant cousin to that series. Blends perfectly with any of those cymbals - or the Signatures and Dark Energies.

Weighing 2335 grams, this Paiste Prototype plays like a Medium Thin to Medium. It’s not heavy or clangy but it definitely has enough weight to offer a solid stick attack and penetrating bell. The bell is really great.  

More full, and darker than the 2002s, when you crash on it, it unleashes a wall of blossoming wash. It roars.  
Perfect for any style of music.

Why the hell pay $100 more for a regular-ass big box store 2002? This is a much more interesting darker Paiste Prototype 20”.

No issues.  Extremely clean! A great blend of Paiste series that you cannot find
