Paiste 602 Medium Hi-Hat – 15" – Blue Logo – 1148g / 1027g – 1982
A beautiful pair of 15" Paiste 602 Medium Hi-Hat cymbals with the classic Blue Logo, produced in 1982. The cymbals weigh 1148g (top) and 1027g (bottom) and are in excellent used condition, showing only light signs of use. The top logo is naturally faded, which is common for cymbals of this era and does not affect performance.
The Paiste 602 series is legendary for its refined musicality, clarity, and balance, making it a long-standing favorite among professional drummers for both studio and live performance. These larger 15" hi-hats offer extra warmth and depth while retaining the signature Paiste precision.
Sound Characteristics
These hi-hats deliver a rich, warm, and full tone with a beautiful silvery shimmer when played lightly. They provide a wide dynamic range with a complex yet controlled mix of frequencies. The feel is soft and responsive, allowing for effortless control across a variety of playing styles.
The open sound is lively, warm, and expressive, while the closed sound produces a full, precise, and articulate “chick.” The larger diameter gives these hats additional body and smoothness, making them extremely musical and versatile.
