Paiste 900 Series 18 Colour Sound China Cymbal - Black

Unleash raw power and sonic texture with the Paiste 900 Series Colour Sound China Cymbal—a dynamic cymbal designed to deliver bold, attention-grabbing effects with a distinct visual edge. This cymbal offers a fairly dark, energetic character with a medium-wide frequency range and a rich, complex tonal mix, making it ideal for players who demand expressive articulation and dramatic accents. The 900 Series China delivers an explosive, shattering crash that cuts through dense mixes with ease. Its trashy wash and exotic stick response provide a sharp, aggressive edge that’s perfect for punctuating fills or building climactic transitions. With its assertive personality, this china cymbal excels at producing intense, exotic effects that enhance both live performances and studio recordings. Though it shares the core sonic profile and functionality of the standard 900 Series, the Color Sound finish introduces subtle yet impactful tonal refinements. The specialized color coating slightly dries the sound, shortens sustain, and creates a tighter, more focused attack, giving the cymbal a more controlled, articulate feel without sacrificing its signature character. Whether you're adding flair to your setup or seeking a cymbal that delivers both striking visuals and exceptional sound, the Colour Sound China from the Paiste 900 Series is a powerful and versatile choice.
