Vinnie's Paistes

Postby gutenberg » Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:05 pm

from the Paiste website:

"Following the current trend for bigger, warmer, but yet pure sounding cymbals, Paiste expands the legendary Formula 602 series with three new models.

All three models were re-launched in close co-operation with Vinnie Colaiuta , one of the most influential drummers of our time, who tested the cymbals in the studio and on stage. Vinnie currently plays these new models while touring with Sting.

Like the 14" size, the 15" Medium Hi-Hat is soft in feel and finesse but they possess a slightly more rich and low-end tone which increases their versatility.

The 24" Medium Ride provides a wide array of deep complex frequencies and more overall volume. While retaining its controllability, the initial stick attack releases silvery highs and its rich and warm wash make this cymbal very crashable.

Completing the existing crash trio (16"/18"/20"), the 22" Thin Crash offers additional accent power that enables a drummer to achieve the characteristic Formula 602 sound on bigger stages as well as medium-loud volume settings. Due to its extremely sensitive response, this crash can also be used for subtle ride patterns."



A 22" Crash?????

A 22" THIN crash. Huge, thin cymbals sound incredible when you crash them. I have a 24" K. Light ride that sounds ridiculous when it's crashed. I also played a 22" Paiste Traditional Swish which made an amazing sound when crashed with a stick or tapped with a finger.

I would like to hear some sound from the board of him playing these.

Also had a special spot for 15" hats...

602s are soft cymbals. Any volume you get above a certain dB will not sound quite right. Vinne hits hard and im sure hes found this.

They only go so loud.

Thats a diff from zildjians. Zs are loud cymbals and can be hit. 2002s can be hit too, hard, and sound good.

You actually think playing and the musical properties of the cymbals have anything to do with this particular business arrangement?

Only as much "bull" as your reverse inference is.


I think when an endorser of that caliber, in any sport or activity, makes that massive of a switch in product endorsements, there is always a LOT more to the story then whatever marketing is put out by the new company.
