Paiste 2002 Bonham Cymbal Set

The Paiste 2002 Bonham Cymbal Set gives you the classic rock sound of one of the greatest drummers of all time. Paiste crafted this set to John Bonham's exacting standards so you'll have the same full, powerful tone he achieved on iconic Led Zeppelin tracks. It includes 15" Sound Edge hi-hats, an 18" crash, a second 18" medium crash and a versatile 24" ride—everything you need to pound out thundering beats.

Hi-Hats with Definition and Splash

The 15" Sound Edge hi-hats deliver a sharp, precise "chick" sound when closed that cuts through the mix. Open them up for a splashy, energetic wash that projects clearly. Their unique rippled bottoms prevent airlock, giving you tight control over the open and closed sounds. These hi-hats are ideal for intricate rhythms or pounding eighth-note grooves.

Crashes Built for Power and Sustain

The 18" crash and medium crash provide full-bodied smashes that bloom into a warm shimmer. Their immediate, dynamic response lets you achieve different crash intensities based on how hard you strike them. Both have a lively intensity and medium sustain that work well for accents or as part of a progressive build. Use them individually or pair them for a huge, resonant crash with serious rock attitude.

Versatile Ride with Strong Ping and Warm Wash

The 24" ride offers a penetrating ping with a warm, lively overall sound. Its strong, cutting bell provides clear definition while its broad frequency range delivers a full wash when you want it. This extremely versatile ride works for everything from intricate rhythms at lower volumes to all-out rock at maximum intensity. It has the power and projection for larger venues but remains articulate even at lower dynamics.

Authentic Bonham Sound and Feel

Paiste crafted each cymbal in this set from CuSn8 bronze for the same bright, warm and energetic tone John Bonham relied on. Their traditional round shapes and profiles provide the familiar look and feel that shaped Bonham's iconic playing style. If you want huge, resonant cymbals built to rock with power and projection, the Paiste 2002 Bonham Cymbal Set delivers the genuine goods.
