2002 Bronze for an expressive sound character
All cymbals of the Paiste 900 series are made of B8 bronze alloy, better known as 2002 bronze. The mixture in a ratio of 92% copper to 8% tin is known for a very warm, brilliant and expressive sound character. The machine-made 900 series cymbals are hammered and turned by hand by the experienced Paiste cymbal smiths, a real specialty in this price range. The special finish gives the 900 series cymbals a dark shine and visually enhances the pattern and hammer marks for a spectacular appearance that combines roughness with elegance.
Great flexibility and excellent playability
The innovative design gives the 900 series cymbals great flexibility and excellent playability. The sound is rich and warm, peppered with well-proportioned highs. Larger and heavier models also have a good degree of brilliance, sharpness and projection. The core of the program focuses on crash and ride cymbals of various sizes in medium and heavy strength. A selection of Hi-Hats, Splashes and Chinas rounds off the program.
