PaisteColor Sound 900 Crash Cymbal, Black 17 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Paiste’s 17-inch black Color Sound 900 Crash is voiced with a solid, medium-bright, full-bodied character, warm undertones, and a full round crash. It is described as balanced and responsive. The Color Sound coating refines the envelope: attack is more focused, the sound is slightly drier, and sustain is a little shorter than the corresponding 900 Series model. Its translucent black finish allows the grooves and hammer marks to remain visible. The cymbal is medium weight, cast alloy, and Swiss made.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers looking for a balanced, responsive crash with a full round sound.
- Musical settings where a focused crash attack and somewhat shorter sustain are useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking the longer sustain of the corresponding uncoated 900 Series sound.
