Paiste Colour Sound 900

The Paiste Colour Sound 900 cymbals bring bold visual flair and trusted performance together in one striking package, continuing a legacy that began with Paiste’s pioneering Colour Sound 5 line in 1984. Launched in 2017, the Colour Sound 900 series is built on the same foundation as the standard 900 Series – crafted from CuSn8 “2002 Bronze” and refined through Swiss hand-hammering and lathing – but enhanced with a vibrant, translucent colour-coated finish. Available in Black, Red, Blue and Purple, these cymbals retain the natural texture and hammer marks of the bronze beneath, creating a radiant, eye-catching appearance ideal for stage and screen.

Sonically, the Colour Sound coating slightly alters the cymbals’ response, delivering a drier sound, shorter sustain and a more focused attack, all while preserving the flexible feel and dynamic warmth of the original 900 Series. The result is a set of cymbals that not only look stunning under lights but also perform with power, control and clarity across all musical styles and volume levels. Designed to withstand the rigours of performance, the durable finish will not chip, crack, or peel – ensuring that these cymbals remain as resilient as they are visually impactful. Colour Sound 900 is the perfect blend of artistic expression and professional-level sound.
