collapse expand iconDescription

The Paiste Color Sound 900 Sound Edge hi-hat cymbal in red has a bright, crisp and sharp tonal quality with an extremely responsive feel. When opened up, these hats are very energetic and cut through the mix. The stick sound is well-defined and clear with a medium-long sustain, perfect for precise playing in a wide range of musical styles.

Color Sound 900 Series

Paiste first pioneered color-coated cymbals with COLOR SOUND 5 in 1984 as a means for artistic expression during the time period when popular music became visual in music videos on television. In the 1990s, VISIONS made an appearance, and in recent years, certain Artist Inspiration models feature color coating—Stewart Copeland's Blue Bell Ride, Aquiles Priester's Giga Bell Ride and Danny Carey's Dry Heavy Ride. Throughout, the Color Sound finish was available for custom orders, including cymbals featured by international top artists Joey Jordison, Tico Torres and Paul Bostaph. With Color Sound 900, Paiste launches the latest incarnation in the color cymbal saga.

Color Sound 900 cymbals are based on the range of models in the concurrently launched 900 Series. While they feature essentially corresponding sound and function, the color coating causes a slightly drier sound, shortens the sustain a bit and results in a more focused attack. Significantly, the same flexibility and giving feel as in the 900 Series is present.

Extensive research and design efforts by Paiste have resulted in the most stunningly beautiful finishes: Luminous translucent colors preserve the natural appearance of grooves and hammer marks and present a vibrantly radiant appearance. Notably, decades of experience have proven the Color Sound finish to be exceedingly tough and durable—the finish will not ever crack, chip or peel.
