PaisteColor Sound 900 Heavy Crash Cymbal, Purple 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Paiste’s purple 18-inch Heavy Crash is built around a solid, medium-bright, full-bodied crash sound. When the music gets loud, it answers with a powerful crash and a substantial attack. The Color Sound finish shifts the response slightly drier, with less sustain and more emphasis at the start of the note, so accents speak with definition. Its translucent purple surface still shows the cymbal’s grooves and hammer marks, and the design keeps the flexible, giving feel of the 900 Series.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-volume musical settings that call for full-bodied crashes with a weighty attack.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a crash designed around extended sustain instead of a shorter decay.
