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 16" Heavy Crash carries on that tradition with a wide-ranging voice and the kind of giving, responsive feel that many Sweetwater 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 16" 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 16" 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

Reviews

Love It
This cymbal is really good. I bought the Paiste 900 series 18" crash and loved it, so I decided to branch out a bit more with the 900 series and buy this cymbal, and I love it. This was my first 16" crash I ever bought, so I didn't know what to expect, and I am definitely happy with this cymbal. I also appreciate that it doesn't ring out forever when you choke it like some cymbals

Awesome!
I had already bought the 18" so, as expected, this one supplements it beautifully! Additionally, I will likely be looking into the other 900 Heavy Series cymbals later...

Solid crash
I really like it. It gets loud and cuts through nicely, but I also get low and ting around with doubles and stuff on all my cymbals and bells, and while it's not crazy articulate, I do like the sounds it makes. If it had a little more sustain or wash or whatever on crashes and a little more of a bell, it would put it at 5 stars from me for sure. Still a solid crash though.

I really like the heavy paiste line. The durability might be what I love the most about it, but they are great sounding cymbals and I also really appreciate the prices
