Paiste hi-hats with classic Formula 602 sound
The Paiste Formula 602 14" Classic Soundedge Hihats belong to one of the most recorded and legendary cymbal lines in drumming history. These hi-hats are known for their fine, pure, soft and delicate musical tone, with a clear character that lets precise playing come through beautifully.
That sound calls for accurate playing and therefore suits drummers who value control, nuance and consistency. If you are looking for a 14 inch hi-hat with a refined, true cymbal sound, this Paiste Formula 602 series sits firmly in the professional segment.
Handcrafted from 602 Bronze
For these Paiste hi-hats, Paiste uses the legendary 602 Bronze, also referred to as CuSn20. From start to finish, the cymbals are handcrafted by highly skilled Swiss craftsmen, resulting in a true and pure sound with distinctive clarity and notably consistent response.
The popular Formula 602 models were reintroduced in 2011 and faithfully recreated in both sound and appearance. That makes this 14" hi-hat especially relevant for drummers specifically looking for the recognizable Formula 602 Classic Sounds approach.
For drummers who want precision
At 14 inches, this is a common hi-hat size for a wide range of playing situations. The real distinction here is the familiar Paiste Formula 602 sound: musical, refined and clear, with the tonal consistency Paiste has been known for over decades.
