{"product_id":"paiste-color-sound-900-blue-china","title":"Paiste Color Sound 900 Blue China","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeries Description: Paiste first pioneered color coated cymbals with COLORSOUND 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 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. Size: 18-inches Weight: Medium thin Volume: Medium to loud Stick Sound: Washy, trashy Intensity: Lively Sustain: Medium Bell character: Integrated Sound character: Fairly dark, energetic. Medium wide range, complex mix. Explosive, shattering crash. Exotic stick sound over a complex, trashy wash. Assertive china for exotic effects. While Color Sound 900 feature essentially the same sound and function as the 900 Series, the color coating causes a slightly drier sound, shortens the sustain a bit, and results in a more focused attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss-made, and it will outlast the kit it sits on.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent, repeatable voice across the line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to live and studio work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by the Paiste warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Paiste Color Sound 900 Blue China?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaiste has been making cymbals in Switzerland since 1906, and the house sound is consistency. A model sounds like that model, kit to kit and year to year, which is why touring and session players specify a Paiste line rather than hunting for one good example of it. Alloy, lathing and hammering are matched to the series rather than the individual piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaiste\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor Sound 900 Blue China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaiste\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key details?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaiste\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew, original packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaiste manufacturer warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose Paiste?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCymbals are the one part of a kit that does not wear out if it is made properly.
