Hello all. Need some help on a 602 I'm looking at. It's a 24" ride, red label. I know with the early 2002's some were black label. Does anyone know if the early 602's were black or have the always been red? Also what was the first year they were intro'd...thanx.. mike..

The Paiste Formula 602 was born in 1957.
Serial numbers were added about 1971. The early cymbals had an embossed Paiste logo at 12:00. Hand stamped black ink for another logo and red or black ink for the type and size of the cymbal. That combination was used until the 1980's. Hope that helps.
BTW Moniker has nothing to do with my drumming!

Paiste is stamped. It's got "medium" in red, no size. And the same stamp as my Soundcreation bright ride which I bought in "77" No serial # I'm thinking this was the series before the Soundcreation.. thanx for the info...mike

The red size stamp should be inside the bell.

The black hand stamp or the embossed Paiste logo?
No serial #
Serial numbers started about 1971.

Yes... the Sound Creation line started in 1976, the embossed logo was round and the hand stamped Paiste logo was black. It sounds like you have two very rare cymbals. Can you post a photo?

I've attached a pic of the logo of a 20" 602 I bought used around 1981.
It's a nice cymbal and records very well. The cup is nice and it crashes pretty well - a very easy to control cymbal. The negatives would be that it never affected me like the old K's did, the 602 has more of what I'd call a commercial sound. It's a cymbal they would make a drum machine sample out of, because it sounds very typically "ride cymbal".
It always sounded great on "Tequila" for some reason. Guitar Dude Man

I have recordings of Joe Morello playing Zildjians and during his Paiste years and man he could always pick the special cymbals.
Here’s a photo of a Paiste 602 found in the back of a music store. It has the embossed logo, black ink Paiste stamp & size, and red inked cymbal type.

This has medium in red on it as well. It has something on the bell also but can't make it out from the photo. I have no problem you buying it if I don't. What goes around comes around. I hopefully going to see it this week. I'll let you know...cheers...mike.
