Description
The Paiste 2002 Sound Edge Hi-Hat Top pairs with a Sound Edge bottom to deliver the patented wavy-rim design that started it all. This 15″ top is a medium-weight cymbal, giving drummers a fast, responsive feel with a lively, energetic edge.
- Size: 15″
- Weight: Medium (top)
- Volume range: Medium-soft to loud
- Stick sound: Pronounced
- Intensity: Lively
- Sustain: Medium
- Chick sound: Sharp and pronounced
Tonally, this hi-hat top sits in medium-bright territory—full, warm, and brilliant all at once—with a wide-ranging, layered mix rather than a single simple tone. Closed, it produces a sharp, cutting chick that stays articulate even at higher volumes. Open it up and you get a full, bright, energetic wash that responds instantly to stick attack.
Because it’s built from Paiste’s original Sound Edge concept, the wavy bottom edge (paired with a matching bottom cymbal) creates controlled air release for that signature crisp, cutting chick this line is known for. A solid pick for drummers who want versatility across volume levels without sacrificing definition or character.
