Frequently Asked Questions
The reflector finish, while visually striking, is thinner than Paiste’s other finishes and can be more susceptible to cracking under heavy, consistent use.
While not a main volume cymbal, the Reflector’s explosive nature makes it cut through well in a rock or pop context, but might get lost in heavier, louder genres.
The PST8 uses the same B8 bronze, but lacks the hand-hammering and sonic refinement of the 2002, offering a more affordable entry point to Paiste’s bronze sound.
