Review: Has the unique Paiste feel under the stick with nice stick definition but still some spread despite the “dry” moniker, killer bell that is semi integrated, not a clanky sound at all. Over all a fairly dark sounding cymbal for a Paiste, it is still thin enough to get an accent crash out of.

Review: Terrific ride! Has a nice ping over a warm wash, and I was not at all disappointed in this. May not be the "dry" ride if you like it really dry, this is actually not so dry at all. I use it often in an '80's metal cover band when we play smaller rooms. It is great for blending into the music, although it is actually nice when crash/riding too! I've had several nice comments about the copper like look of the finish. It took me two years to find this, but when I did it was well worth the wait!

Review: Wow what a great ride! Its got a nice clear strong ping, great bell, and has that great 2002 sound. Its weighted perfectly and will even crash which is rare for a dry ride. This will be right at home from jazz to metal. I give it a 9.5/10, I think i found my dream ride! The 2002 dry is a bit lighter than the Signature Dry Heavy, it sounds brighter to me and a lot drier. The amount of hammering on this thing is amazing, top and bottom, looks like a polished shiny penny. The bell is nice and pingy and I agree with Paiste saying it has a "throaty" sound. It's not a really loud cymbal, but loud enough for me to cut through my band at full volume without problems. Its much more dynamic than the Signature Dry Heavy too, it will crash, it will carry a nice wash, and it will ping depending on the strike zone.
