Paiste Formula 602 Medium Crash Cymbal

Bell bronze crash cymbal in medium-heavy weight, based on classic model from the 1960s

Recreated from the original Formula 602 bell bronze cymbals launched in 1959, these Paiste Formula 602 medium crashes are multi-purpose cymbals with a full, strong crash sound. All cymbals in the relaunched Formula 602 series are based on master cymbals from Paiste’s archive and made with the same traditional hand production techniques as in the 1960s. This process keeps their sound faithful to the original iconic series that helped revolutionize popular music with its purity, control and projection.

These medium-heavy crash cymbals are designed to cut through amplified music the same way they did in the 60s and 70s. The larger models are especially suited to riding, due to their silvery transparency.
