Frequently Asked Questions

The 2002 series sits in the middle – more refined than PST but less complex and expensive than Signature. It offers a classic, balanced sound, not as bright or cutting as the Signature line.
While it can be used, it’s not its forte. Its soft character and thin profile won't cut through loud mixes; larger, brighter splashes would be a better choice.
Regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner and proper storage – ideally in a padded bag – will prevent oxidation and keep it sounding its best. Avoid hitting it too hard!
