Paiste 900 Series 16inch Heavy Crash Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 16" Heavy Crash Cymbal combines Swiss precision with innovative hybrid manufacturing techniques. This exceptional cymbal undergoes meticulous hand hammering and lathing by skilled Swiss craftsmen, creating a distinctive finish that darkens the bronze while amplifying the lathing grooves and hammer marks. The result is a spectacular appearance that perfectly balances roughness with elegance, making it as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.

The innovative design philosophy behind the 900 Series provides enhanced flexibility, offering drummers a responsive feel and outstanding playability across all performance situations. This 16" heavy crash produces a medium bright, full–bodied sound with solid projection and a wide tonal range that sits beautifully in any mix. The cymbal’s powerful crash characteristics feature a meaty attack with washy stick definition, while maintaining lively intensity and long sustain with an integrated bell character.

Perfectly suited for assertive yet musical accents in loud music styles, this cymbal excels in both live performance and studio recording environments. The medium to loud volume capability makes it an ideal choice for drummers working across the entire spectrum of musical genres, from rock and metal to jazz and fusion, providing the versatility and reliability that professional musicians demand.
