Built on the trusted foundation of Paiste’s 900 Series, the Color Sound 900 Series delivers the same musical flexibility and rich sonic character—but with a bold visual twist. Thanks to a special translucent coating, these cymbals offer a slightly drier tone with shorter sustain, adding a more focused attack while preserving the core voice players love from the original 900 line. The radiant color finishes don’t just look incredible under stage lights—they also retain the natural lathing and hammer marks of each cymbal, adding depth and texture to the visual appeal. More importantly, Paiste's proprietary coating process ensures long-term durability that resists cracking, chipping, and peeling, even under heavy use. Whether you're looking to match your cymbals to your drum kit, create a coordinated stage setup, or simply stand out with a custom vibe, the Color Sound 900 Series offers a perfect blend of performance and personality. It's the same high-quality sound, reimagined in color. 14 bronze alloy hi-hats with translucent color coating Medium top/medium-heavy bottom combination produces medium to loud volume Hand-trued edges and hand-hammered bow emit medium bright, sharp tones and a defined chick Extra pneumatic hammering along the bottom cymbal's edge yields greater articulation between the top and bottom cymbals Sharp, cutting sound with medium to long sustain Suitable for precise playing in a variety of environments Type: Sound Edge Hi-hat Size: 14 Finish: Purple Top Weight: Medium Bottom Weight: Medium Heavy Material: CuSn8 Bronze Sound: Crisp Stick Sound, Energetic Open Sound, Sharp Volume: Medium to Loud Sustain: Medium Long
