Paiste2002 Power Ride Cymbal 22 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A heavy 22" ride for high-volume rock. Wide, cutting stick definition and a strong bell for drummers playing loud without much mic support.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock and metal stages where a 20 gets buried
- Drummers who lean on bell patterns
- Players who want ride definition, not wash
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small kits and tight stages where a 22 is in the way
- Jazz or low-volume playing wanting dark complexity
- Drummers who crash their ride constantly
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
Power weight
Thick enough that hard stick attack stays as a clear ping instead of collapsing into wash.
Detail 03
2002 series
Paiste's long-running rock line. Bright and cutting rather than dark and dry.
Detail 04
Large bell on a heavy ride
Bell patterns come through loud and clear over distorted guitars, which is why metal drummers reach for this size.
Detail 05
$560
Professional pricing, and the highest of the three sizes here because of the extra metal.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get a 20 or 22 inch ride?
22 gives lower pitch, longer sustain and more volume for loud stages. 20 is easier to place on small kits and speaks a bit faster.
02Is this good for metal?
Yes. Heavy weight and a cutting bell are what metal drummers use to stay audible under distorted guitars.
03Can it double as a crash?
Not comfortably. The thickness resists a quick crash and gives a slow, heavy swell instead.
04Will it fit my cymbal bag?
Check first. Many bags and cases top out at 20 or 21 inches, so a 22 may need a larger bag.
