Paiste2002 Series Thin Crash Cymbal 17 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 17-inch thin crash from Paiste's 2002 line at $370. For drummers who want a quick, low-pitched accent that speaks at light stick force.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who play with lighter sticks and want fast response
- Rooms where a heavy crash would overpower the kit
- Adding a quicker, darker accent next to a heavier crash
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters — thin cymbals take abuse poorly
- Anyone needing a crash to cut through a loud stage
- Drummers wanting one do-everything crash-ride
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
17 inch
Larger surface plus thin weight means a fuller, deeper crash than a 16, still with a quick swell.
Detail 03
2002 Series
Paiste's long-running mid-priced line. Steps below the Signature tier, which is why it lands at $370.
Detail 04
Crash cymbal
Meant for accents. Thin weight makes it especially poor for steady riding, since wash builds fast.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbal only. No stand, sleeve, felts or bag included.
- 02Thin cymbals crack from edge hits. Strike with the shoulder at an angle.
- 03Overtightened wing nuts choke thin crashes and raise crack risk.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does thin actually change?
It opens faster and quieter, with a lower pitch and shorter decay. The trade is less volume and less tolerance for hard hitting.
02Will it be loud enough for a rock gig?
It can get lost against loud amps. A medium or heavier crash cuts better on a loud stage.
03How is this different from the Signature Dark 17?
Different line and price tier. This is the 2002 series at $370, thin weight. The Signature Dark MKI is $546 and brighter, snappier.
04Does it include a stand?
No. It ships as a single cymbal, so budget for a stand plus felts and a sleeve.
