As far back as 1984, Paiste's color-coated cymbals have allowed drummers to add an extra flare of personality to their kits. This Color Sound 900 Series 20" Ride combines Paiste's virtually indestructible and attractive color coating with their groundbreaking 900 series cymbal design. The result is a great-looking ride with wide-ranging, full sound and the kind of responsive feel that many Sweetwater drummers look for. The Color Sound 900 20" Ride is a medium-weight cymbal and offers the same medium-low to loud volume and pronounced ping as its non-colored equivalent, but with a slightly drier character.
