Paiste 24" 2002 "Reverend Al's" Big Ride Cymbal (1061824-1052010S)

[Lateralus03]

Woooah he just explodes!! Nice play. Nicer cymbal.

[paisteuser06]

now this would serve as an beautiful crash...may be the nicest 24" crash sound ive ever heard, and thats topping the 24" 2002 Crash. Not much of a ride, however, Alex rarely just "rides" his ride, so it doesnt surprise me that the "Big Ride" is more crash than not.

Sound really good, but there is almost no stick?

[manoloculiao]

Beautiful!

[drumsanddrumming]

I have and play that cymbal!

[danlc95]

This cymbal has a beautiful ping, as well as a excellent crash, wash, and bell.

Awesome Cymbal... big sound....I love it..

[blica1]

that thing is a monster and still crashes beautifully ,with a nice all around wash and glassy ,dark shimmer, unheard of for a cymbal of this magnitude ! pretty neat cymbal..

[BrainDamage769]

This is not how I expected Alex Van Halen's ride to sound at all. Real nice sound, though.

[drumsanddrumming]

I have that cymbal too, really like it!

[krisanton80]

It's a Giant Beat ride with a silkier sound really, not a typical 2002. I use my 'big ride' for softer old-style stuff like rock 'n' roll or R&B; it's perfect for that and blends into the music wonderfully - - A beautiful cymbal.

Great drumming too, George is awesome isn't he!

@krisanton80 on the contrary , the giant beat is just as silky, but with a sharper , glassier wash, and for lack of a better word,an icier sounding crash...alex's ride is a lot darker in tonality, but still, pretty smooth sounding for a cymbal of this size!

[guitardude1230]

I don't quite see how this could be used solely as a ride. THe wash is way to prevalent, especially during fast riding. That said, it sounds AMAZING as a nice crash.

Hats?!

@zajebach Paiste 14" 2002 Sound Edge Hi Hat Cymbals

[paisteuser06]

its hard to believe Alex Van Halen helped create this ride as his past ride cymbals tend to be a lot pingier than this 24"...crash.

[blica1]

paiste = cymbals extraordinaire !

[idrumforpoptarts]

Nothing better than Rev Al.
