Paiste 18 Inch Color Sound 900
Heavy Crash Cymbal in Blue

Heavy B8 bronze crash with vibrant coated finish, bold projection and full-bodied attack

Overview

The Paiste 18 Inch Color Sound 900 Heavy Crash Cymbal in Blue combines the visual impact of the Color Sound 900 Series with a heavier crash profile built for stronger accents, bigger projection and a more forceful attack. Crafted from B8 bronze, this heavy crash delivers a lively response, bold volume and medium sustain that works well for modern drummers who need their cymbal accents to cut through guitars, bass and amplified stage mixes. Its translucent color coating preserves the natural look of the grooves and hammer marks while adding striking stage presence.

Features

The 18 inch size gives this heavy crash a powerful balance of speed, weight and musical spread. Compared with the standard crash version, the heavier thickness adds more punch and projection, making it a strong fit for rock, hard rock, alternative, worship and other settings where crash accents need extra authority.

The Color Sound 900 design is based on Paiste’s 900 Series cymbals, with a slightly drier character and shorter sustain than the standard finish. That controlled response helps the cymbal stay focused while still delivering the impact needed for choruses, fills, endings and live-performance accents.

Hand-trued edges, a hand-turned bell and a pneumatically and hand-hammered bow help create a complex, full-throated crash response. The color coating is specially formulated to resist cracking, chipping and peeling, giving drummers a practical way to coordinate cymbals with their kit, stage setup or visual style.
