PaisteColor Sound 900 Crash Cymbal, Black 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Paiste’s black 18-inch Color Sound 900 Crash combines a solid, medium-bright, full-bodied voice with warm undertones and a rounded crash character. It responds in a balanced way, while the Color Sound coating brings a more focused attack, a slightly drier presentation, and somewhat shorter sustain. The black translucent finish leaves the grooves and hammer marks visible, so the cymbal’s surface detail remains part of its appearance. It carries a medium weight designation and is made from cast alloy in Switzerland.

- Kits where a more focused attack and slightly reduced sustain suit the arrangement.
