- No need to go $726 deep on a cymbal that claims to do what this stunning 22" has been doing for a half-century. That’s just preposterous.
- Yes. That’s right. $726 for the Re-Issue 602!! And that’s a stock photo guess. While you can get this actual half-century-old REAL ONE for much, much less!
- This is one of the smoothest and finest Vintage Paistes Pre Serial 602 22s” that you will encounter.
- And it’s surprisingly THIN for the 22” 602. Only 2664 grams. Others I’ve owned have been hundreds of grams more.
- This particular beauty has the pronounced fanned-out hammering on the plain - and what a luscious plain it is! A big golden surface for riding and a thinner ripe edge for crashing.
- 2664 provides the perfect elixir of dark, subtle chime-like attack, but still thin enough to blur at the edges when struck. As a matter of fact the thinner weight gives this particular 602 an k tall DARKER tone and slightly lower pitch. And that’s a great thing on a Vintage Paiste.
- Stunning sweeps with a mallet - so warm and lush it can easily be an orchestral cymbal.
- Subtle hint of that famous 602 SHIMMER - the tone that put them on the map 60 years ago. This was their golden age! Right when Bonham was discovering drums.
- Darker, lower-pitched, solid bell and much more musical and versatile than the smaller sized 20".
- It’s ridiculous to pay more money for the big box store re-do! Literally. And you can even hear what that one sounds like.
- This beauty has aged over 50 years, play it with love and it will serve you well. Perfect for live and most certainly for recording.
