Drum Cymbal Paiste 900 Series China 16"

The Paiste 900 Series China 16" is an expressive china cymbal designed to add energetic accents and emotional coloring to the playing. It is made of CuSn8 alloy (known as "2002 Bronze"), consisting of 92% copper and 8% tin. This bronze combines strength, stability and a characteristic warm, but at the same time gives a bright sound for which professional Paiste cymbals are valued. It is thanks to this formula that the sound is deep, dynamic and rich. In the 900 series, Paiste has combined innovative production with traditional Swiss craftsmanship: each cymbal is hand-forged and precision turned, during which characteristic concentric grooves are formed on the surface. All this not only gives a unique appearance, but also shapes the sound. An additional darkened coating visually enhances the relief from the hammer and grooves, combining the aesthetics of roughness with elegance.

This 16" china sounds aggressive, explosive and dark. It has medium sustained sustain and volume, but immediately catches the attention with its ‘thrash’ character. A strike with the stick produces a sizzling, almost broken sound with rich resonance. It responds easily to even soft blows, making it suitable for both powerful accents and nuanced playing. This cymbal is a perfect addition to the set of a drummer who wants to add expression and impact to his playing. It is suitable for rock, metal, alternative, fusion and experimental genres. Its sound is sure to fit in both studio recordings and on the live stage.
