Paiste Colour Sound 900 Series Purple 18" China Cymbal

Explosive China Response with a Drier, More Focused Purple Finish

The Paiste Colour Sound 900 Series Purple 18" China Cymbal delivers a fairly dark, energetic response with an explosive, shattering crash and a complex, trashy wash underneath. Its exotic, washy stick sound gives accents plenty of character, while the lively response makes it quick to speak when you need a dramatic effect.

Made from CuSn8 Bronze, also known as 2002 Bronze, the cymbal has a light weight, medium volume and medium sustain. The Colour Sound coating retains the essential sound and flexible feel of the 900 Series while making the response slightly drier, shortening the sustain and focusing the attack. Its translucent Purple finish still allows the natural grooves and hammer marks to remain visible.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this China cymbal is ideal for drummers who want an assertive, exotic accent with dark complexity, a focused attack and a distinctive visual presence for live playing or recording.
