Paiste crash cymbal with modern versatility
The Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials 18" Crash was developed in close collaboration with Vinnie Colaiuta. This crash cymbal is aimed at drummers who want to combine clarity and consistency with depth, warmth and a modern, highly versatile sound character.
In practice, that translates into a responsive, soft and controlled feel with balanced dynamic properties. That makes this Paiste a strong match for soft to medium-loud playing styles, both in the studio and on stage.
Formula 602 Modern Essentials 18" Crash in CuSn20 bronze
For this 18 inch crash, Paiste uses CuSn20 bronze, also known as traditional or 602 bronze. The cymbals are handcrafted from start to finish by highly skilled specialists in Switzerland, which fits the careful character of this series.
In terms of sound, the Formula 602 Modern Essentials series brings together the transparency and stick definition of the classic Formula 602 models with the richness, warmth, darkness and soft complexity of the Signature Traditionals. This line also has a little more swag than its classic siblings.
