FORMULA 602 MODERN ESSENTIALS

Forged from the legendary «602 Bronze» (CuSn20), offering a complete new wide and dynamic sound dimension, developed in close collaboration with Vinnie Colaiuta, handcrafted from start to finish by highly skilled Swiss craftsmen, conceived and executed according to Vinnie’s uncompromising sound concepts for a wide all-round application.

Formula 602 Modern Essentials cymbals combine the essence of the Formula 602 Classic Sounds models – transparency and stick definition – with the richness, warmth, darkness and a bit of complexity of the Signature Traditionals series besides providing slightly more pizzazz than its Classic Sounds siblings.

I love the clarity of the ride. No matter how fast he plays it, you can hear every stroke and the tone of the China is exceptional. Most of them sound like gongs or trash can lids, this one sounds like a musical instrument.

[davidcurtis]

I love the sound of these cymbals.  I got the 22" ride (Modern Essentials) and I'm just blown away, love it! Thanks Vinnie and Paiste for a great Cymbal!

[Remy-zhjo]

I've owned a 18" modern essentials crash for about 3 years now, and its insanely versatile. Never gets in the way of the music.

[randolphpatterson]

Vinnie teamed with Zildjian some years ago, and they came up with his A Customs, which sounded brilliant & breathy. But I've always been a fan of the old 602's, and these have everything that the A Customs had, plus a lot of much-desired depth & girth. Please don't tell my wife what I'm going to spend on these. And don't wake me up.

Good video.
Two priceless moments:
- His explanation about the making of the china.
- His explanation about naming the cymbal line.

Thanks Paiste and Vinnie.

[TimShahady]

I work for Paiste and can promise you it is not about money. We do not pay artists to play our cymbals. Vinnie heard some cymbals and wanted to learn more. It was well over a year of hanging out and playing cymbals before any endorsement talk was happening. This is a move based on sound, and sound alone.

[robmadore]

I thought the intro he was going to say "I'm Vinnie Colauita and I am God".

[jimburleson]

One of the best drummers in the world playing the best cymbals in the world.  Paiste all the way.  Always consistent.

[chrisgoodman]

the "peoples cymbal" is more then $500 each cymbal...

[Monsterdrumma]

Just tried these cymbals and man they are amazing! They play like butter, so smooth, great tone and feel soft, perfect cymbals honestly!

[mr.asartspace]

Awesome cymbals. Haven't purchased a Paiste cymbals that I didn't like. I've cracked a few over the years and need to replace them soon. Won't use anything else but these fine cymbals. Vinnie blows me away every time I see or hear a performance of his. Amazing drummer!!

[Drumhead]

The control he has of his sticks, which are pretty heavy, to be able to produce such a light ride sound is astounding.

[dougmasters]

The best 15” hats I’ve every played and owned.

[jamesberlo]

they hit a Grand Slam developing this line in every aspect, its great they still offer some original Formula 602's , especially for those that dreamed of them but never thought they would ever get to own them.

[calzaondrums]

There will never be a better cymbal brand than Paiste.
Best sounding cymbals ever made, especially 2002s, GBs and 602s

[TonyJumpkins]

That's perfect! I've been looking high and low for a set of chocolatey sounding hats

[FSMAND]

"Vinnie Colaiuuuuta!" (in catholic girl voice)

[MatthewMcClellan]

I can’t imagine ever being happier with a ride cymbal than I am with my 22” 602 Modern Essentials. I first played it two years ago at GearFest, and was floored.

I'm a Zildjian guy but I enjoyed every note of this video!
