Paiste 18 inch crash cymbal with the well-known 2002 sound
If you are looking for a crash cymbal with a pronounced rock character, the Paiste 18" 2002 Crash fits that immediately. The 2002 series helped define the sound of rock drummers for many years and is still designed to meet the demands of modern popular music.
In this 18 inch version, you get the combination the series is known for: a strong, clear sound with warmth and brightness. That makes this Paiste crash cymbal a good match for drummers who want a direct, recognizable cymbal voice for pop and rock.
CuSn8 alloy and professional Paiste series
For the Paiste 18" 2002 Crash, Paiste uses its famous CuSn8 alloy. That alloy is closely tied to the 2002 series and forms the basis of the bright, powerful character these cymbals are known for.
The 2002 line is a favorite choice of many professional drummers. In a store like Magna Music, where you can also get personal advice from musicians, this is exactly the kind of crash cymbal worth comparing if you want a Paiste with a classic name and current-day relevance.
For rock and modern popular music
The current Paiste 2002 series is inspired by the original classic cymbals and developed further into the line of today. That means this 18" crash connects not only to the trusted 2002 heritage, but also to contemporary playing styles in popular music.
The 18 inch size gives you a crash cymbal that stands out clearly in your setup. For drummers looking for a Paiste cymbal with warmth, brightness and a solid attack for rock, this is a logical choice for rehearsal, studio or stage.
