404

Introduction: 1978
Discontinued: 1986
Background:

  • Paiste 404 have a good sound, they project and give a true cymbal feel. Made with Paiste know-how, they represent quality at a small investment. Perfect for the demanding student seeking sound value. (1)
  • Paiste's budget B8 line, below the mid-range 505s and professional 2002s, but still made from the distinctive CuSN8 bronze... No longer in production, the 404s crop up from time-to-time on eBay - they are reasonably well though-of by today's drummers, most of whom believe the 404s to be far superior to currently produced budget modeals from any manufacturer...

Innovation: Affordable cymbals similar to the 505's.
Alloy: CuSn8 (Also known as "2002 Bronze")
Quality: Entry Level to Semi Professional
Production: Similar to the 2002's & 505's
Applications: All applications, to include live and studio
Users: Beginner to intermediate drummers looking for something better than an off-the-shelf pack of brass rubbish that's still with their budget... Anyone looking for gig-able cymbals at bargain prices...
Sound: Not complex, but not displeasing to the ear...
