Paiste 900 Series 14 Colour Sound Hi-Hat Cymbals - Purple

The Paiste Color Sound 900 14 Hi-Hats combine striking looks with a bright, warm, and highly versatile tonal character. Designed for dynamic musical settings, these hi-hats deliver a balanced, responsive feel with a defined “chick,” compact stick articulation, and smooth control across a wide volume range—from medium-low to loud. Engineered with a medium top and heavy bottom pairing, the Color Sound 900 Hi-Hats offer an articulate response with medium sustain, making them ideal for everything from studio sessions to live performances. Their sound is warm and open, yet focused enough to cut through the mix when needed. Rooted in a legacy of visual innovation, Paiste first introduced color-coated cymbals in the 1980s with the COLORSOUND 5 series, followed by VISIONS in the 1990s, and special artist models like Stewart Copeland’s Blue Bell Ride and Danny Carey’s Dry Heavy Ride. The Color Sound 900 Series continues this bold tradition, drawing on decades of artist-inspired design. Based on the highly regarded Paiste 900 Series, Color Sound 900 cymbals maintain the same flexibility and musicality, with the addition of a sleek translucent coating. This unique finish slightly dries the tone, shortens sustain, and sharpens attack—delivering not only a visual statement but also a distinctive sonic edge. Whether you're looking for expressive tone or stage-ready style, the Color Sound 900 Hi-Hats strike the perfect balance between performance and personality.
