Paiste 17" Formula 602 Modern Essentials Crash Cymbal

The 17" Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials Crash Cymbal is full, warm, brilliantly shimmering, deep. Fairly wide range, complex mix. Quick response, fairly soft feel. Rich, strong crash sound with open low end and shimmering highs. A very versatile, responsive cymbal suited for many live and studio applications. Vinnie Colaiuta mentions: "They are nice and transparent. And as the cymbal gets bigger you really start hearing the warmth project a little more."

A note from Paiste: "The very elaborate production process of Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials cymbals, along with the deliberately slight lathing may cause surface irregularities. This method of manufacturing is necessary to achieve the typical sound character of these unique Paiste series. However, the somewhat unusual look does not affect the durability or sound of the cymbals."
