Independent shopping perspective
With its 18-inch red profile, this China is built around a dark character and an explosive crash for accents that need clear emphasis. It follows with a complex, trashy wash and medium sustain. The color coating shifts the response toward a slightly drier sound, a more focused initial attack, and somewhat less sustain. Its medium-thin weight is paired with the flexible, giving feel associated with the Color Sound 900 range.
