NAMM 2010: Paiste and Alex Van Halen announce Big Ride
Van Halen drummer's 2002 Series 24" cymbal
Press Release, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 4:12 pm UTC
PRESS RELEASE: The renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste announces the 2010 Winter NAMM Show introduction of the 2002 24" Big Ride.
This special Ride was created by Paiste's Sound Development team in collaboration with Alex Van Halen, who has inspired drummers over the world for more than two decades with his unique and instantly recognizable powerful and dynamic drumming style in the cult Hard Rock band "Van Halen".
The 2002 Big Ride is based on the design parameters and character of the Giant Beat series. The finish is vintage 2002 style. The cymbal features a full, silky, powerful, deep sound character, and a sweet, glassy ping over a big, dark and misty wash, making it a versatile Ride cymbal with great crash-ability, a perfect addition to Alex Van Halen's very own big signature cymbal sound.
As a tribute to Alex's collaborative effort in the creation of this unique cymbal, the label "Reverend Al's Big Ride" and a modified rendition of the principal "exterminator" artwork for Van Halen's 1984 tour have been placed on the cymbal.
2002 cymbals are entirely made by hand in Switzerland using traditional methods that have remained unchanged in over half a century.
