Paiste 900 Series 18inch Heavy Crash Cymbal

Forged from legendary 2002 Bronze, the Paiste 900 Series 18" Heavy Crash Cymbal combines Swiss precision with innovative hybrid manufacturing techniques. This exceptional cymbal undergoes meticulous hand hammering and lathing by skilled craftsmen, while a special finish darkens the surface and accentuates the lathing grooves and hammer marks. The result is a striking appearance that perfectly balances roughness with elegance, creating a cymbal that looks as impressive as it sounds.

The innovative design philosophy behind the 900 Series provides enhanced flexibility, offering drummers a responsive feel and outstanding playability. This 18" heavy crash produces a medium bright, full–bodied sound with solid projection and a clean mix across its wide tonal range. The powerful crash features a meaty attack with washy stick definition, while maintaining long sustain and lively intensity that cuts through dense musical arrangements.

Perfectly suited for assertive yet musical accents in loud music styles, this cymbal excels in both live performance and studio recording environments. The medium to loud volume capability and integrated bell character make it an ideal choice across the entire spectrum of contemporary music styles, from rock and metal to fusion and progressive genres where powerful, cutting crashes are essential.
