About this listing
Pioneers of innovation, Paiste were the first to create colored cymbals in 1983. In addition to visual flourish, the ink yields a much drier cymbal tone. Black was the most common color, here we have the 1985 ORIGINAL COLORSOUND 5 that is VERY RED! Strongest ink on this one!
This is NOT the modern 900 series. This is the Original and it’s a much better cymbal.
1628 grams. 40 years old. Beauty!
This Original 18” Power Crash Colorsound plays like a 2002 but is considerably drier. It has a fast attack that explodes off the kit and then decays quickly.
Perfect for punches and accents and being the Power it PROJECTS LIVE exceptionally well. It has a very FULL tone.
No issues, typical surface wear that you see on this series, mostly in the underside. Sounds amazing, stands out visually.
Harder to find this 40 year old version THIS RED
This Original Paiste captures a sound AND an era!!
Fans of the Colorsound: Stewart Copeland, Danny Carey, Terry Bozzio, and Scott Rockenfield. Nicko McBrain.
