Detail 01
4 inches across
Very high pitch, almost no sustain. It is a tick or a chirp, not a wash.

Paiste2002 Accent Cymbal 4 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 4-inch accent cymbal from Paiste's 2002 line, $46, in yellow. A small color piece for drummers who want a quick, high ping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a tight, high accent without taking up a full stand
- Stacking on top of a hi-hat or existing cymbal
- Cheap way to add a new sound to a finished kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing volume — 4 inches will not carry over a loud band
- Players looking for a splash; this is far smaller
- First cymbal purchases — this adds color, it does not cover a kit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Accent cymbal
Meant for punctuation on single hits, not for keeping time or crashing on downbeats.
Detail 03
Yellow finish
Purely visual — it makes the cymbal easy to spot on a busy kit under stage lights.
Detail 04
$46
Low enough to experiment with. Cheapest way to add a distinct new sound to an existing setup.
Detail 05
Paiste 2002 series
Matches other 2002 pieces if you are already running that family.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mount included — you need a stacker, accent arm, or spare cymbal stand
- 02Still use a sleeve and felt; a tiny cymbal cracks at the hole just as easily
- 03It is quiet by nature. Close-mic it or it disappears live
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I mount a 4-inch accent cymbal?
On a cymbal stacker or short accent arm, or on top of an existing cymbal on a stand. Nothing to mount it with is included.
02Is this the same as a splash?
It behaves like a very small splash but much shorter and higher. At 4 inches there is almost no decay at all.
03Will it be loud enough for gigs?
On its own, no. It is a detail sound. Live, you generally need a mic or a quiet passage to hear it.
04Does the yellow color affect the sound?
No. It is appearance only.
