2002 Big Beat represents a modernized, yet timeless interpretation of the legendary 2002 sound. Visually, the cymbals feature a distinctly new hammering pattern for the 2002 family, a slightly darkened, semi-matted finish, and simplified black logos to distinguish the Big Beat set. With the 2002 Big Beat models, Paiste takes the 2002 sound into a new realm while preserving the legendary 2002 heritage.
