PaisteColor Sound 900 Heavy Crash Cymbal, Black 16 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Paiste’s black 16-inch Color Sound 900 Heavy Crash is the heavier crash option for high-volume musical settings. Its sound is solid, medium-bright, and full-bodied, with a powerful crash and a meaty attack. The Color Sound coating adds further attack focus, makes the sound slightly drier, and reduces sustain somewhat compared with the corresponding 900 Series model. Beneath the translucent black finish, grooves and hammer marks remain visible. It is a heavy-weight cast-alloy crash made in Switzerland.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-volume musical settings that call for a powerful crash and meaty attack.
