Setup Notes
Installation
Installing the Paiste 2002 Crash is straightforward. Ensure you have a sturdy cymbal stand with a felt washer and a locking nut. Slide the cymbal onto the stand, ensuring it is centered, and tighten the wing nut enough to secure the cymbal while still allowing it to vibrate freely. Avoid over-tightening the nut, as this can dampen the sustain and potentially cause cracking.
