Modern Essentials: an explosive new take on the 602 sound
 
Paiste views the Modern Essentials Ride as an extension to, rather than a replacement of, the classic 602 line. This 24" ride has the same transparent tone, good stick definition, and workingman's versatility that drummers loved about the original series.
 
Made from Paiste CuSn20 bronze for rich, dark, and musical tones
 
Paiste's traditional CuSn20 bronze (80% copper/20% tin) is the same alloy used in Paiste's Masters cymbals and has been the gold standard for many cymbal makers for generations. A random hammering pattern gives this 24" ride a complex tone without sacrificing its place in a mix.

Colaiuta and Paiste worked hard not to make their Modern Essentials collection too niche a sound, making sure that every crash, splash, and ride worked for live arena rock to studio pop to swing. If you play a wide range of styles and need a ride sound that translates, Sweetwater drummers recommend checking out the Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials 24" Ride cymbal.
