Paistes 2002 Big Beats are a loud, solid heavy crash/ride serie, that sounds warmer compared to the original 2002 series. Definitely recommended for drummers that play heavy rock music or metal. The thickness of this 19" cymbal is medium and hits really nice. The pitch of this 19" sounds high, like you normally would expect for a 17" of 18" cymbal. I'm really stoked about my Big Beat setup using the 15" hihat, 19" crashride & 21" crashride.
