Description

The Paiste Formula 602 Modern Essentials Splash Cymbal is a great choice for drummers seeking lively and explosive accents. With a light weight and medium volume, these splash cymbals produce a warm and airy sound color with a wide frequency range and rough/complex/rich frequency mix. They have a washy stick sound, lively response intensity, and short sustain, with an integrated bell character and soft feel.

The sound character of the Formula 602 Modern Essentials Splash Cymbals is warm, airy, snarling, and silvery. They have a fairly wide range and complex mix, with a very responsive and explosive splash sound, making them perfect for low-tuned effect cymbals for lively accents in moderate volume. These cymbals are well suited for hand-playing and are praised by Vinnie Colaiuta as “sweet” and “punctuation marks in the background.”
