Paiste crash cymbal with modern Formula 602 sound
This 20 inch crash cymbal from the Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials series was developed in close collaboration with Vinnie Colaiuta. It combines the transparency and stick definition of the classic Formula 602 models with added richness, warmth, darkness and soft complexity.
That gives you a modern, versatile sound character that brings together clarity and consistency with depth. Its responsive, soft and controlled feel makes this Paiste crash a strong choice for drummers who want nuance from their cymbal work.
CuSn20 bronze and handcrafted in Switzerland
The Formula 602 Modern Essentials 20" Crash is forged from CuSn20 bronze, also known as traditional or 602 bronze. From start to finish, this Paiste cymbal is handcrafted in Switzerland by highly skilled specialists.
That approach matches the refined character of this crash cymbal, with broad and dynamic sound dimensions and a little more "swag" than the classic models within the 602 line.
For studio, live and all-round use
This 20 inch crash works best with soft to medium-loud playing styles. You can use it in the studio just as easily as live, across styles such as pop, rock, jazz, fusion, blues, R&B, country, folk and acoustic music.
If you are looking for an all-round Paiste crash cymbal with balanced dynamics and controlled response, this Modern Essentials is a natural fit. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians who know how a cymbal like this performs in practice.
