Looks like the writing is on the wall concerning Paiste releasing some 2oo2's for the 50th. There are a bunch of 2oo2 protos that just posted on Memphis DS. The same thing happened when they released the new Sigs. Summer NAMM?

Currently recording a heavy, post-rock record for a friend and using the following with great results. I am not a basher though, if you play very heavy handed I would not recommend these, but the Signature Power, Rude, 2oo2 heavy/power/extreme. 14" 602 classic med hats 18" & 20" 602 Modern...

My Paiste Rude 10" Splash is definitely more bell-like and aggressive than the 10" Mehmet Traditional. Also, about a 80 gram difference in weight, and different alloy. Always been a splash guy and have owned a hundred at least. There are some that exist that have large (even raw) bell, yet...

The 15" 602ME Hats go great with the 22" dark Energy MKII. The slightly more mellow DE may work better in a setting such as yours.

I have heard they have no blanks that big in the Sig Alloy, no confirmation on that. I would like to see a 24" Sig Full or Mellow Ride.

The Power series are back, and more! https://www.paiste.com/en/products/series/signature

These are new prototypes of Signature cymbals. T20 are going to be very different.

Memphis Drum Shop is posting loads of Sig and Masters prototypes last few days. Looks like they are going to introduce some light hats, heavy/power crashes and rides into both lines possibly? I's excited at the prospect of light Sig hats, they sound sweet, like a dark crisp top over a medium...

I would add anything that Paiste discontinues to a certain extent. Most of the older models are sought after by Paiste collectors even if they were not popular at the time of production.

Kind of similar to this 22" Mehmet 70's Nostalgia ride also from Matthias. I have the 20" version at 1710 grams and it sounds very similar as well. Awesome cymbal.

Wish I still had my 2oo2 Dry Ride. That was a very interesting cymbal.

I suggest looking at the Dark Energy MKI & MKII Rides. The 22" MKII I have is similar to what you are describing.

Nice.. I had a Signature 20" Dry Crisp Ride that weighed about 2200 g. It was a great cymbal in every way, wish I still had it. Sounded just like this.. They should still make this one!

Looks like the old "Raker" series. Kinda like a Paiste Rude in ways. I tried a 20" ride once and remember it being quite heavy, dry and pingy.
