  • Some of the CLEANEST Vintage Black Label 2002s you will ever see!! And definitely RARE…
  • BACK WHEN PAISTE STAMPED THEM "ROCK"!!! And these are the perennial favorites of Jeff Porcaro, Dave Grohl and Frank Beard. 

  • From what I recall Paiste only did the “ROCK” for a few years at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s.

  • And that is helpful, I mean what if you pulled out these hihats for your POLKA gig? Then what?

  • Where would you be trying to play Frank Yankovic's "In Heaven There is No Beer" with a pair of inappropriate hihats.

  • In Hell. That's where you would be.

  • But thankfully Paiste alleviated that catastrophe.

  • And dammit do these 2002s sound amazing. I mean REALLY amazing!!

  • Weighing in at a perfect 1022 grams for the top cymbal and 1044 grams for the bottom cymbal, these hihats have all of the Classic clean Paiste tone that catapulted the 2002 Series to stardom 55 years ago. And since this specific pair is designated "Heavy," they have more projection and a stronger CHICK when compared to the standard 2002s.  But they do NOT clank their way through life.  Not at all. 
     
  • What I dig about this specific pair is that they are very focused when struck with your stick. The articulation is great and it's a bit more controlled and tight. Thats the beauty.  

  • It’s no wonder Jeff Porcaro used these. They’re crisp and clean sounding and have a wonderful Paiste focused tone. Sounds like TOTO in the studio all day long. 

  • AND you won't be mislead into using them on your acoustic folk gig, because they're stamped "ROCK."

  • Use them for absolutely anything BUT don't use them for polka.  You'll burn in hell for that.

  • And speaking of hell, why the HELL would you pay more money for the regular boring ass big box store 2002s.
  • INSANELY CLEAN - the cleanest you will ever find. No issues.  They look like they about a year old. Not 45 years old! 
     
  • Collectible! And you can hear this exact pair so there’s no guesswork - the REAL ONES that put Paiste on the map in the 1970s.
