Paiste 2002 70's Vintage CHINA TYPE 20 inch Serial: 902284 Weight: Approximately 1.8kg This is a vintage Paiste "black logo" China cymbal. It's a vintage piece, not a reissue. There are no cracks or chips, but as the photos show, it's a vintage item, so there is rust (verdigris), dirt, scratches, tape residue, and slight warping on the edge, indicating use. I bought it from a musical instrument store about 7-8 years ago and have used it a few times, but I don't use it much, so I'm selling it. These are particularly hard to find these days, so I recommend it! Compared to the current 2002 models, the shimmering quality is, in a good way, subdued, and it has a moderate dryness and a unique, deep "gwoong" sound. The low overtones are pleasant, and the pitch is low, but it has a very interesting sound that seems to coexist with a vintage feel and the bright tone characteristic of Paiste. Personally, I think it would be a good match for those who like the Paiste sound but want a slightly rounder China cymbal, or for songs that aren't too gentle, or rock bands that aren't too intense! This is a vintage item, so please check the condition in the photos before purchasing.
