Paiste 900 Series 17 Colour Sound Crash Cymbal - Purple

The Paiste Color Sound 900 Crash Cymbal delivers a dynamic blend of power, clarity, and musicality, making it a versatile choice for drummers across all styles. With a medium-bright character and full-bodied tone, it offers warm undertones that add depth and richness to your playing. Its wide frequency range and clean sonic mix ensure a balanced presence in both studio and live settings, while the responsive feel provides excellent control and articulation. This crash produces a full, rounded sound with a strong, punchy attack—perfect for everything from subtle accents to explosive crashes. The striking Color Sound finish doesn’t just turn heads visually; it also has a subtle sonic effect. The special coating introduces a slightly drier tone, shortens the sustain, and focuses the attack, giving this cymbal a more precise and controlled response compared to its traditional 900 Series counterpart. Hand-hammered and lathed in Switzerland using Paiste’s industry-standard 2002 bronze alloy, the Color Sound 900 Crash combines superior craftsmanship with bold aesthetics and performance-ready sound. Whether you're laying down grooves in a studio or commanding attention on stage, this cymbal is built to perform and impress.
