Paiste 900 Series 16inch China Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 16" China Cymbal brings together Swiss precision and innovative design to create an instrument that balances raw power with refined musicality. This medium–thin weight cymbal undergoes sophisticated hybrid manufacturing, where traditional hand hammering and lathing techniques are enhanced by a special finish that darkens the surface and accentuates the grooves and hammer marks for a striking visual appeal.

The 900 Series design philosophy centres on greater flexibility, providing drummers with exceptional playability and a responsive feel. This 16" China produces a fairly dark, energetic sound with medium to loud volume capabilities, featuring an explosive, shattering crash that cuts through any mix. The complex, trashy wash underneath creates exotic stick sounds perfect for adding distinctive character to your playing.

With medium sustain and integrated bell character, this assertive china cymbal excels across live performance and studio recording applications. The lively intensity and washy, trashy stick response make it an ideal choice for drummers seeking exotic effects across the entire spectrum of musical styles, from rock and metal to fusion and experimental genres.
