Paiste 900 Series 12inch Splash Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 12" Splash Cymbal combines traditional Swiss craftsmanship with innovative hybrid manufacturing techniques. Hand hammering and lathing processes refine each cymbal, while a special finish darkens the surface and amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks, creating a spectacular appearance that balances roughness with elegance. This sophisticated construction provides greater flexibility, resulting in exceptional playability and a giving feel that responds beautifully to your touch.

The 900 Series design philosophy centres on warm, full tones with subdued brightness that cuts through without overwhelming your mix. This 12" splash features a thin weight profile that produces medium low to medium loud volumes, with a washy stick sound and lively intensity. The short sustain and integrated bell character make it perfect for quick, explosive accents that decay rapidly, allowing for clean articulation in busy musical passages.

With its medium bright, short and full sound character, this splash offers a fairly wide range and clean mix that suits both live performance and studio recording. The responsive feel and quick decay make it an ideal choice for short accents across various music styles, from rock and pop to jazz and fusion. Its well–rounded sonic profile adapts seamlessly to different musical contexts while maintaining consistent performance characteristics.
