Paiste 900 Series 18inch China Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 18" China Cymbal brings together Swiss precision and innovative design to create an instrument that balances raw power with refined musicality. This medium thin cymbal undergoes sophisticated hybrid manufacturing, where traditional Swiss craftsmanship meets modern techniques through careful hand hammering and lathing processes. The special finish creates a slightly darkened appearance that highlights the lathing grooves and hammer marks, resulting in a striking visual that perfectly matches its bold sonic character.

The 900 Series design philosophy centres on enhanced flexibility, providing drummers with exceptional playability and a responsive feel under the sticks. This 18" China produces a fairly dark, energetic sound with medium to loud volume capabilities and lively intensity. Its complex mix offers an explosive, shattering crash complemented by exotic stick sounds that sit over a trashy, washy foundation with medium sustain and integrated bell character.

Built for versatility across live performance and studio recording applications, this assertive china cymbal serves the entire spectrum of musical styles. The combination of 2002 Bronze construction and refined Swiss manufacturing techniques makes it an ideal choice for drummers seeking exotic effects and distinctive tonal colours in their cymbal setup.
