Paiste 2002 Power Ride Cymbals: Maximum Projection and Cut for High-Volume Rock Music

The Paiste 2002 cymbal series is firmly embedded in the annals of rock history, originating from the challenge posed by early electrified music in the 1970s. Faced with the need for cymbals that could reliably “cut through the music” and maintain clarity amidst rising volume levels, Paiste responded by developing the 2002 line in 1971, which quickly became known for its **Warm, Bright, and Powerful** sound. The 2002 series has since served as the sonic foundation for countless legendary rock drummers, including iconic figures like John Bonham, Carl Palmer, and Ian Paice. The enduring magic of the 2002 lies in its exceptional projection, and the Power Ride variation is specifically engineered to amplify this quality, providing maximum stick definition and raw energy for the most aggressive playing styles.
