Carlos Vega cymbals? Anyone know?

Loading...

I know this isn't exactly a vintage cymbal question, but does anyone know what cymbals Carlos Vega used? I know it was Paiste, but curious which ones he used mainly. I'm sure he switched them up at times.

In a July 1988 Modern Drummer interview he said he was using Paiste 602’s, but he didn’t list specific models or sizes.

In the Sept. 1990 MD, he said he used a 22” 602 Ride, 602 Thin Crashes and 2002 Hats on the GRP Live In Session CD.

In the Nov 1995 MD, while touring with James Taylor, he said he played Paiste Signature 20” Dark Crash Ride, 20” Thin China, 16” Fast Crash, 18” Full Crash, 12” Heavy Hi Hats on the right and 13” Heavy Hi Hats on the left.
