The 900 Series is created from Paiste's industry standard CuSn8 bronze alloy, and refined with Swiss craftsmanship by hand hammering and lathing. A special darker finish amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks for a gorgeous appearance that blends roughness and elegance. This 12" cymbal gives you tremendous quality for the price. The 900 series splash projects a bright, full splash with medium-low to medium-loud volume with short sustain that decays quickly. This punchy little cymbal will be happy accenting any genre of music you choose to play. We proudly carry all of Paiste's 900 series cymbals at the Drum Center of Portsmouth.
