Bright, Powerful Ride

The Paiste 2002 Power Ride provides a very strong, bright, full sound with an energetic, clean feel.

The heavy weight of the ride provides a controlled response with a clean, pinging stick definition and a dry, dark fairly long sustain. Playing the egde of the ride creates a robust, full, warm, washy crash like response, while the bell offers a strong cutting sound perfect for punctuating musical accents.

Ideal for hard hitters, the Paiste Power Ride was made for louder music settings when a clear projection is needed to pierce through the mix and ensure you’re heard.

A popular choice for a range of professional drummers, including Tommy Aldridge (Whitesnake), Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura) and Frank Beard (ZZ Top) to name a few, this ride is a reliable choice for drummers of all heavier music genres.

With its big, clean glassy pinging sound, the Power Ride does exactly what it says; provides a strong, articulate tone with lots of power.

Its larger hand hammering finish results in a strong aesthetic and a sound to match. Perfect for those who play hard and sound loud.

The Paiste 2002 Power Ride is also available in a 20” option.
