The Korena take
The 17-inch Paiste 900 Series Heavy Crash is a responsive, high-volume crash for players who hit hard. Its fat, powerful voice is paired with long sustain, giving accents more length after the initial impact. Despite its heavy designation, the crash is described with good dynamic range, allowing the player to work across different playing levels. It is aimed at drum parts that need a strong crash presence in amplified settings.

Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified band parts where crash accents need substantial volume and a sustained response.
- Heavy-playing drummers who want a responsive 17-inch crash with a powerful sound.
- Arrangements that benefit from dynamic range alongside a long-decaying crash accent.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a crash with a short sustain; this model is described with long sustain.
