The legendary Paiste 602 15" Medium Hi–Hat Pair stands as one of history's most revered cymbal lines, earning its reputation through decades of professional use worldwide. These cymbals are renowned for their fine, pure, soft, and delicate musical tone that demands precise playing technique. Originally reintroduced in 2011, these models have been faithfully recreated to match both the sound and appearance of the originals.

The 15" medium weight configuration offers medium low to medium loud volume capabilities, with a soft, slightly washy stick sound and lively intensity paired with medium sustain and a full, crisp chick sound.
The sound character presents as rich, warm, full, and silvery with a light touch, offering a wide range and fairly complex mix. These hi–hats provide a soft feel that's easy to control, producing a lively, responsive and warm open sound alongside a full, precise chick sound. This versatile hi–hat pair suits medium loud settings perfectly and proves ideal for studio applications where precision and tonal quality are paramount.
