The Korena take
With its 18-inch size and heavy weight, the Paiste 900 Series Heavy Crash is aimed at forceful crash work that needs to carry through an amplified mix. The response remains described as versatile and responsive, while the sound is fat, powerful, and high in volume. Long sustain gives each accent a lingering tail, and its dynamic range leaves room to vary how hard the crash is played.
