Setup Notes
Installation
The Paiste 2002 Crash is designed for standard cymbal mounting. To ensure the longevity and tonal quality of the instrument:
- Mount the cymbal on a sturdy cymbal stand using a standard felt and plastic sleeve.
- Avoid over-tightening the wing nut; allow the cymbal to vibrate freely to achieve the intended “washy” sound and medium sustain.
- Position the cymbal at a comfortable height and angle to ensure a natural strike point, preventing edge damage.
