24-inch diameter
More mass and lower pitch than a 20 or 22. Slower response, longer sustain, much more projection.

Paiste2002 Big Ride 24 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch B8 bronze ride built for volume and stick clarity in loud rooms. For rock and metal drummers playing large stages.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and metal gigs where a smaller ride disappears
- Drummers needing stick definition that survives a wall of guitars
- Open-air stages and large venues without close-miking
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and low-volume players wanting a dark, washy ride
- Small rooms and home practice — it is genuinely loud
- Drummers who want a subtle, complex crash-ride

Detail 04
Heavier weight class
Bell and bow stay articulate under hard playing rather than washing out into a roar.
Detail 05
Large bell
Loud, clear bell tone that carries in a mix. Useful for section markers and chorus accents.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 24-inch ride too big for me?
If you play loud rock or metal on large stages, no. For jazz, small clubs or home practice, a 20 or 22 is more manageable.
02Can I crash on it?
It's a heavy ride built for stick definition, so crashes are slow to open and don't decay quickly. Use a dedicated crash.
03How does 2002 bronze differ from B20?
B8 bronze runs brighter and more cutting with a simpler tone. B20 gives darker, more complex overtones. This one favors projection.
04Will it fit my cymbal bag?
Only if your bag is rated for 24 inches. Most standard bags top out at 22, so plan on a larger case.
