Paiste 2002 Heavy Ride

This is a great sounding ride cymbal. It has a beautiful stick sound and long sustain. The bell is small but it has a very distinct sound. There is also a bit of dark wash produced by this cymbal making it versatile for more subtle styles. However the wash can easily get lost in the mix with a loud band. Overall, this ride seems like the middle ground between the 2002 ride and the 2002 Power Ride.
