The top cymbal is from the mid-to-late 1960s based on the logo stamp, while the bottom cymbal, with its \"Super 602\" stamp logo, is believed to be from the very early production period (1959 to the early 1960s).\u003cbr\u003e The balance between the calm tone and the clear, bright, and delicate stick sound is superb, and the light and sharp tick sound unique to the 602 is exquisite.\u003cbr\u003e The sound retains a fresh brightness, offering a bright, tight closed sound, and a pleasant half-to-open sound with a wash that is characteristic of lightweight pickups.\u003cbr\u003e This hi-hat is recommended for a variety of genres, from jazz and blues to vocal pop and light rock sounds, offering a crisp, lively feel while still blending well into an ensemble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The top cymbal has a lacquer coating, presumably to prevent rust.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, when setting up on a hi-hat stand, there may be a misalignment of approximately 3mm to 5mm between the top and bottom cymbals, but this will not affect playing.\u003cbr\u003e Lightweight models like this are extremely rare. Please experience the superb vintage 602 sound for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Size: 15 inches. *Please note that this is a vintage item and may have scratches, stains, rust, etc.\u003c\/hihat\u003e","brand":"PAiSTe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67735534469233,"sku":"870449","price":955.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/870449_01.jpg?v=1792406581","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/ko\/products\/870449","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
