Paiste 602 Cymbals

Paiste Formula 602 Cymbals at Andertons Music Co.

Paiste Formula 602 cymbals are among the most iconic professional cymbals ever made, delivering exceptional clarity, musicality and precision. Available at Andertons Music Co, the 602 range is designed for discerning drummers who demand refined tone for studio recording, live performance and nuanced playing styles.

Premium Alloy for Pure, Musical Tone

Crafted from CuSn20 bronze (traditional B20 alloy), Paiste 602 cymbals offer a smoother, more complex tonal character compared to the brighter B8-based PST ranges. This results in a warm, balanced sound with soft highs, controlled lows and outstanding stick definition, making them ideal for detailed and expressive playing.

Modern Essentials & Classic Sounds Series

The Formula 602 range includes two key lines: Classic Sounds and Modern Essentials. The Classic range delivers a vintage-inspired, smooth and controlled tone perfect for jazz, blues and traditional styles, while the Modern Essentials series, developed with Vinnie Colaiuta, offers a more powerful, contemporary voice with increased projection and versatility.

What Sets Paiste 602 Apart?

Compared to other Paiste cymbal ranges, the 602 series sits at the premium end, offering greater tonal complexity and refinement than entry-level PST cymbals and more subtlety than brighter ranges like the 2002 series. These cymbals are designed for players who prioritise musicality, dynamics and studio-quality sound over sheer volume and attack.

Professional Cymbals for Serious Drummers

From hi-hats and crashes to rides and effects cymbals, the Paiste Formula 602 range provides a complete professional setup. At Andertons Music Co, these cymbals are the perfect choice for advanced players seeking timeless tone, precision craftsmanship and world-class performance.
