Its fine, pure and always controlled musical tone was adopted by well-known drummers and percussionists including none other than Joe Morello, Art Blakey, Paul Motian, Ndugu Chancler, Jon Hiseman, Charlie Watts and a host more. Formula 602s were especially coveted as the ultimate cymbal in jazz, the burgeoning beat and rock music of the times, avant-garde and acoustic genres of music for more than three decades. Demand began falling away with the advent of increasing volume through amplification and electronic music, and production of the Formula 602 series ceased in the 1990s. The warmth of the traditional CuSn20 bronze and the superior sound quality are back in demand, however hence the reintroduction of the most popular Formula 602 range of models. The returning Formula 602 cymbal models in addition to the 20 Medium Ride are the 16 Thin Crash, the 18 Thin Crash, the 14 Sound Edge Hi-Hats and the 20 Medium Flatride.Nows the time to catch up with history!
