Paicym 18 900 CS Blue China

Description

Overview

Overview

The Paiste 18″ 900 CS Blue China is a striking and assertive crash cymbal designed for drummers who demand both visual artistry and powerful sonic impact. Part of the renowned 900 Series, this cymbal features the exclusive Color Sound finish in a vibrant blue hue, making it a standout visual element on any kit. It is engineered for the modern, expressive musician—the jazz fusion player, the progressive rock drummer, or the studio producer looking to add exotic textures to their soundscapes.

What sets the Paiste 900 CS apart is the synergy between its robust 900 Series construction and the unique Color Sound coating. While retaining the core character of the 900 Series, the color coating imparts a slightly drier sound and shortens the sustain marginally, resulting in a more focused and explosive attack. This makes it an assertive china perfect for cutting through dense mixes while delivering a complex, trashy wash.

Musicians will want this cymbal for its ability to deliver an explosive, shattering crash sound with an exotic stick sound over a complex wash. It offers the flexibility and giving feel synonymous with the 900 Series, wrapped in a durable, luminous translucent finish that preserves the natural appearance of its grooves and hammer marks.
