Swiss precision meets legendary bronze craftsmanship in the Paiste 900 Series 17" Crash Cymbal, forged from the renowned 2002 Bronze alloy that has defined professional sound for decades. This sophisticated hybrid manufacturing process combines traditional Swiss craftsmanship with modern innovation, featuring hand hammering and lathing techniques that create the cymbal's distinctive character. The special finish subtly darkens the surface while amplifying the lathing grooves and hammer marks, resulting in a spectacular appearance that perfectly balances roughness with elegance.
The innovative design philosophy behind the 900 Series provides greater flexibility, creating a responsive feel and outstanding playability that professional drummers demand. At 17 inches with medium weight, this crash cymbal produces a medium bright, full–bodied sound enriched with warm undertones and a wide tonal range that sits beautifully in any mix. The balanced, responsive feel combines with washy stick definition and lively intensity, while the medium sustain and integrated bell character contribute to its versatile sonic palette.
Built for universal applications, this crash cymbal produces a full, round crash sound with the punch needed for both live performance and studio recording across the entire spectrum of musical styles. The medium low to loud volume range makes it equally suited to intimate jazz sessions and high–energy rock performances, while the clean mix and warm undertones ensure it complements rather than competes with other instruments in your setup.
