Installation
The Paiste 2002 Ride is a standard B20-style bronze cymbal. To ensure longevity and optimal resonance, it should be mounted using a standard cymbal stand with a felt washer and a plastic sleeve to protect the metal from direct contact with the stand.
Avoid over-tightening the wingnut; allow the cymbal to vibrate freely to achieve the full, brilliant sustain and warm character intended by Paiste.
Compatibility
This cymbal is compatible with all standard professional cymbal stands and hardware. Due to its 24-inch diameter and medium-heavy weight, a sturdy, heavy-duty cymbal stand is recommended to ensure stability during high-intensity playing.
