Rare One Of EARLIEST Vintage Paiste 602 Swish China Pang 20” 1998 g Smooth Exotic Soft
Here’s a very hard to find Paiste, and they make nothing that sounds like this today.
One of the EARLIEST Paiste China Pang-style SWISH cymbals: a very Rare Paiste Pre Serial 602 20” at a beautiful 1998 grams.
If you didn’t see the flanged edge you’d swear this beauty was a crash.
Yes! Not a lot of these floating around there - and nothing they make sounds anything like this. The modern 602 China is $500 - and that buys you only 18 inches.
Rounded Swish - style bell. Paper thin edges that are easily bendable - so thin they’re wavy.
Extremely responsive and emits a Pang-like mellowness. And you’ll be hard-pressed to find a Paiste China cymbal that rides as smooth as this and still keeps that clean 602 definition. Primed for 6 rivets in the vintage configuration. Currently outfitted with one and its vintage as hell.
Aged and mellowed over half-a-century and it’s like playing butter - a very rare characteristic for a China.
A sonic steal and extremely rare and collectible.
