Paiste 20" Formula 602 Classic Medium Ride Cymbal

The Paiste Formula 602 Medium Ride has a full bottom, opulent sustain, and a clear ping, making it a great all-around ride cymbal for quiet to moderately loud venues.

Paiste's Formula 602 line is a blast from the past (1959 to be exact), first used by historical drumming legends Joe Morello, Art Blakey, Paul Motian, Ndugu Chancler, Jon Hiseman, and Charlie Watts. Formula 602s were coveted for their superior sound quality in jazz, rock, and avant-garde music for more than three decades. Demand began falling away with the advent of increasing volume through amplification and electronic music, and production of the Formula 602 series ceased in the 1990s. The warmth of the traditional CuSn20 bronze is back in demand, however - hence the reintroduction of the most popular Formula 602 range of models.
