The Paiste Formula 602 Ride Cymbal is a 20" medium ride cymbal that is made from CuSn20 bronze alloy, with a traditional finish. In 1959 the Formula 602 Cymbal series revolutionized the drum world and quickly became one of the most popular cymbal series in the world. Reason enough for the Swiss cymbal foundry, to resurrect the most important and popular models. These cymbals seamlessly bring back the sound of that period, by being very fine, genuine and pure with exceptional clarity while being very controllable. The Formula 602 Ride Cymbal features a full, rich, fairly bright, solid sound with a medium range and very nice and sparkling stick sound supported by a breathy layer of wash. Perfectly balanced, this is a dynamic all round cymbal for many musical styles played at moderate level.
