Paiste 2002 Big Beat Cymbals are a modernized twist on the immensely popular 2002 series, known for strength and clarity. The hammering pattern on the Big Beats add complexity, warmth, and response. They're made for loud music without being over-the-top aggressive.
All 2002 Big Beats feature highly controllable bloom, fairly short decay, and lusciousness. Other than hi hats, they all lack a designation like "crash" or "ride" - they can be used as either or both, depending on your style.
The 21" 2002 Big Beat Cymbal produces an airy crash and a needling ping over a fairly thick wash - it's great for all sorts of rides and accents.
