This 16' Paiste Color Sound China is a real character cymbal – it screams for attention. It’s perfect for rock, metal, and any genre needing a raw, explosive accent, but don't expect subtle shimmer; this is all about the crash. A great entry point to Paiste’s China range.

PROS

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a surface treatment – the color is cosmetic and doesn't change the bronze's acoustic properties.
PRP lathing ensures a faster, more responsive feel, making it easier to control the cymbal's dynamics and swelling.
This ColorSound China offers a more aggressive, raw sound than the Signature or Dry lines, sacrificing some complexity for a more immediate, explosive impact.
