Orchestra Cymbals Paiste 2002 Accent Cymbals w/straps 6"

Orchestral cymbals that combine compact size with a powerful, bright sound. Despite being only 6 inches in diameter, these cymbals are heavyweight for deep dynamics, long sustained sustain, and a characteristic ‘ringing’ lull. They produce a clean, narrow frequency spectrum with a brilliant, warm sound that remains expressive even in a dense musical mix. From the first strike Paiste 2002 Accent Cymbals impress with their explosive attack - the sound appears sharp, bright and has a peculiar ‘glassy’ tinge. The main tone of these cymbals is very rich and dominant, at the same time surrounded by soft overtones. This creates an effect of exoticism and depth, adding notes of unusual and even mystical character to the sound. These cymbals have a lively, sensitive response to play - they easily ‘come to life’ even from a light blow, but are especially impressive when attacked strongly, showing their volume and power. The material from which these cymbals are made is CuSn8 bronze alloy, known as ‘2002 Bronze’. This alloy has proven itself in cymbal manufacturing due to its durability, sound and reliability in all conditions. The 2002 Series has had a cult status among drummers around the world since 1971, as these cymbals have defined the sound of rock music for generations. The modern versions of this series combine the traditional features of the classic models with new sonic possibilities that meet the demands of the modern stage and studio. They sound great both in live performances and during studio recording, providing reliable projection sound and consistent quality. These cymbals can be used in a variety of ways: as paired orchestral cymbals with straps, as spectacular mini-hats, or even mounted upside down over a ride dome for an unconventional accent. With their versatility and unique sound character, the Paiste 2002 Accent Cymbals 6" will be an expressive instrument in any set-up.
