{"product_id":"paiste-2002-medium-hi-hat-charleston-14-233053","title":"2002 Medium Hi Hat Charleston 14\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue references in the world of popular music cymbals, the \"2002\" models are described as legendary cymbals that have defined the sound of many generations since the early days of Rock. The current version continues this legacy: it retains the spirit of the original classic cymbals while adding a more modern touch to meet the demands of today's productions, especially in current rock aesthetics and progressive popular music. The result is a cymbal with vintage DNA but a clearer articulation and more direct energy, ideal for contexts where impact and clarity are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cymbal is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking immediate response, solid projection, and a sound that remains clear as volume increases. Its \"medium to loud\" range makes it particularly relevant for \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, and modern styles where the cymbal must \"speak\" effortlessly. In the studio, it will also appeal to those wanting precise attack and a clear signature, easy to place in a dense mix with well-defined transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt on the foundation of the original classic cymbals, this current iteration of the 2002 series aims for a balance between tradition and modernity. The goal is to offer an instantly recognizable sound, but better suited to contemporary productions: \u003cstrong\u003emore definition\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003esharper energy\u003c\/strong\u003e, and increased presence in frequencies that allow it to cut through a wall of guitars or a heavily amplified stage. A practical point for setups is the availability of both \u003cstrong\u003etop\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebottom\u003c\/strong\u003e elements also as single cymbals, which facilitates replacing a piece or creating custom pairings according to your touch and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCuSn8 bronze alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, often associated with a bright and direct sonic aesthetic, here serves a \u003cstrong\u003eraw, lively, and clear\u003c\/strong\u003e output. On striking, the attack is fast and articulation stands out easily, helping to maintain a clear pulse within a band even when dynamics get intense. This type of bronze promotes a responsive feel under the stick: the cymbal \"starts\" quickly with crisp definition and delivers natural projection well suited for the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe announced \u003cstrong\u003eenergetic\u003c\/strong\u003e character and \u003cstrong\u003emedium-heavy accents\u003c\/strong\u003e translate into a solid presence without softness, particularly appreciated for marking backbeats, openings, and crescendos. The \u003cstrong\u003epiercing frequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e give a sharp contour to attacks and allow the cymbal to cut through a busy mix, which is a real advantage live and in modern arrangements. In recording, this profile can add clarity and bite: careful balancing is needed depending on the mic placement and the space given to vocals and guitars to enjoy definition without hardening the overall sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade Swiss craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a sense of coherence and musicality, with reliable behavior across different contexts. Whether you seek a precise and articulated play or a more open and edgy sound, this cymbal is designed to respond with stability while retaining the strong personality that made the 2002 series renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCuSn8 bronze (also called \u0026quot;2002 bronze\u0026quot;)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003elive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandmade in Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emedium-heavy and energetic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emedium to loud\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epiercing and bright\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Paiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360759140627,"sku":"233053","price":398.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/86dcedb3565132ce5cb17e1b4921abc0ac0990d4_GEWA_872383.jpg?v=1789399719","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/paiste-2002-medium-hi-hat-charleston-14-233053","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
