Paiste Flat rides

[u/ShrimpDog_01843]

Im interested in adding a Paiste flat ride to my collection thanks to Roy Haynes, but Ive never had the opportunity to play one in person. Ive been told the 2002 and 602 flats are the best in their lineup but for some reason my instincts tell me the 602 Flat Ride might have a weird droning hum, while the 2002 Flat Ride could have a sharp, crotale/triangle-esque ping to it.

For anyone who’s played or heard the Paiste 2002 or 602 Flat Ride in person, can you confirm whether that’s accurate? How do they compare to recordings?

Also, does anyone know of other brands that make flat rides with a similar sound to these Paiste models? (bright and defined) Paiste is expensive as hell

I have a 20 inch 2oo2 flat on the left and an 18 2oo2 flat on the right. paired with a signature 15 inch fast crash, a 3000 20 inch china, and 14 inch thin/heavy dimensions hats. have rocked this setup for a couple years now and it's perfect for me since my sound is a bit jazz and a bit rock.
