I am a flat ride fan although I don't own one at the present time. That is a great one for sure. I'm sure you paid a pretty penny for it though. Thanks for posting the pic and congrats!

I have a 602 blue label flat ride. It is the only thing in all my gear that has not changed in over 20 years! Just the most sweet harmonics and when you hit the side it sings. I'd love to hear those 2002s! Nice score!

Thanks fellas,

I currently owe this one and a Paiste 602 flat ride 16".

I tend to switch but I use both of them as 2nd ride,... next to a 22" K-ride or a 22" UFIP.

The price was 150.00, very reasonable I believe for such a quality cymbal.

Beautiful cymbal. Wish we could hear it. I remember looking at one, back in the early-mid 80's....I think. Anyway, great sound.

"150.00" US eaquiv?

Enjoy that flat-boy.

I have a 1983 22" 2002 Flat that I like. 2970 grams. Here's a video of it:

I know this is an old post, but I too am a flat ride fan. Over the years, I leaned towards Turks, Bosphorus and Istanbuls.

One day, a year ago, I came across a Paiste 602 flat/20". Fell in love with the sound. A sound unlike I got out of any of the Turks. I started a love fest with Paiste, sold the Turks. Now own a 20" and 21" Vintage, preSN ride and a 20" 602 flat, a 20" Sig Traditional flat and a 15yr old 2002 flat, also a 20"

I am on a hunt for a 22" Paiste flat now. What I do not understand is, why does the company (Paiste) who invented the flat ride, not offer it up in their current inventory. Would like a Sig 22" flat or a 602

There is an 18" Paiste 2002 flat ride on auction on Feebay:
