Washy, Wide-ranging, Hand-hammered Heavy Crash
Paiste cymbals have amazed the drumming world for over 100 years with their clarity, rich voice, and remarkable sustain — not to mention their handcrafted quality. The Paiste 900 Series 17″ Heavy Crash carries on that tradition with a wide-ranging voice and the kind of giving, responsive feel that many drummers are looking for. Around its shimmery hand-turned bell, across its pneumatically and hand-hammered bow, and along its hand-trued edges, the Paiste 900 Series 17″ Heavy Crash welcomes your touch with lively intensity and a considerably washy stick sound. It’s a heavy-weight cymbal, so it generates medium to loud volume, and its powerful, meaty attack resonates with long sustain.
Paiste 900 Series 17″ Heavy Crash Features:
- Manufactured to the high standards that have maintained Paiste’s popularity for over 100 years
- Heavy crash contributes medium to loud volume, depending on the strike force employed
- Hand-trued edges and hand-hammered bow produce bright and full-bodied crash accents
- Powerful crash with meaty attack that resonates with long sustain

Paiste 900 Series
The 900 series is handmade from Paiste 2002 bronze.
This material is characterised by its flexible application possibilities. It is suitable both for thin cymbals that should be warm and easy to vibrate, as well as for use with rock and heavy cymbals, which should be stable, powerful and effective.
The handwork in this series of Cymbals consists of Turning and Hammering.
Finish:
Due to the special finish, the Paiste 900 variants are slightly darker, the hammer marks and grooves are more prone to give the instruments a very noble look.
