Series Description: The 900 Series is crafted from 2002 Bronze, with its legendary warmth, brilliance and strength. In sophisticated hybrid manufacturing the cymbals are refined by Swiss craftsmanship with hand hammering and lathing. A special finish slightly darkens the cymbals and amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks for a spectacular appearance that fuses roughness and elegance. The 900 Series sets the new standard for advanced sound at a reasonable investment. Size: 14-inches Weight: medium top/heavy bottom Volume: medium low to loud Stick Sound: compact Intensity: fairly lively Sustain: medium Chick Sound: clear, warm Sound Character: Medium bright, warm, clear. Fairly wide range, clean mix. Balanced, responsive feel. Compact stick sound. Full-bodied open sound. Warm, defined chick. Articulate, controllable hi-hats for a wide range of musical situations.

What is the Paiste 900 Series Hi-Hat?
Hi-hats live or die on the relationship between the two cymbals. Paiste weights top and bottom as a pair so the closed chick is tight and the half-open wash is controllable, rather than leaving the drummer to match two pieces by ear. Singles are available where one half needs replacing.
