Paiste 900 Series 17inch Heavy Crash Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 17" Heavy Crash Cymbal combines Swiss precision with innovative hybrid manufacturing techniques. This sophisticated process involves meticulous hand hammering and lathing by skilled craftsmen, creating a cymbal that balances traditional warmth with modern brilliance and exceptional strength. The special finish subtly darkens the surface while accentuating the lathing grooves and hammer marks, producing a striking visual that merges raw character with refined elegance.

The innovative design philosophy behind the 900 Series focuses on enhanced flexibility, resulting in superior playability and a remarkably responsive feel under the sticks. This 17" heavy crash produces a medium bright, full–bodied sound with solid projection and a clean mix across its wide tonal range. The powerful crash attack is notably meaty, while the washy stick sound and lively intensity create long sustain with an integrated bell character that sits perfectly in any musical context.

Ideally suited for assertive yet musical accents in louder musical styles, this cymbal excels in both live performance and studio recording environments. The medium to loud volume capability makes it particularly effective across the entire spectrum of contemporary music styles, providing drummers with the cutting power and brilliant projection needed for demanding musical situations.
