Paiste 2002 16 Inch China Type Cymbal

The Paiste 2002 16" China Type Cymbal stands as the definitive voice of classic rock percussion, offering an exotic and powerful sound that cuts through any mix. This medium–bright cymbal produces a full, trashy tone with exceptional projection capabilities, making it an essential tool for drummers who demand both precision and musicality in their performances.

Crafted from CuSn8 bronze, this traditionally shaped cymbal delivers a bright, warm, and energetic character that adapts beautifully to different playing techniques. The stick response is notably pingy, while various areas of the cymbal surface produce distinct tonal variations, creating a complex sonic palette that adds depth to any musical arrangement.

Built for medium to loud volume applications, this china cymbal excels in both live performance and studio environments where high energy and cutting presence are required. The heavier construction provides increased volume output while maintaining the classic tonal characteristics that have made the 2002 series a favourite among professional drummers worldwide.
