I liked the Visions series when they were around but these sound pretty good for what they are. The coating kind of kills the resonance of the cymbal so they decay pretty fast. The 24 inch ride is awesome on it's own, no matter what color. You really can't go wrong for the money if your a starter or flashy semi pro!
Visions for the win! I owned some 2000 Colorsounds back in the 90s. They sounded great, but then I found a 15" Visions thin crash on GC's website a couple years ago for cheap. It sounds so nice, warm, and clear. They were made in collaboration with Terry Bozzio. They pop up on ebaY and Reverb every now and then.
Sure seems like a lot of herd criticism on here. These cymbals sound fine. For the price, what the hell were you expecting? Feel free to spend $600 on your Turkish Bababoulian Hash Pipe ride, but that's not the market Paiste is shooting for here. If I want top-end Paiste, they have plenty of options. Colorsound 900s are made from CuSn8 bronze, which is the same alloy used for Paiste 2002 cymbals. If you think 2002s sound bad...well...
Largely for aesthetics without the cost of incorporating them in a higher end line, though the color coating is also intended to make them a little dryer and lower volume
Can't go wrong with either. Bear in mind the 24" will take up an awful lot of space so you'll need a wide open gap to accommodate a cymbal of that size. Not to mention a large cymbal bag for transport if you're in a band that plays shows. Things to think about. I would get the 22".
@@paisteuser06 ended up getting a 22 meinl dark custom. Glad I didn't get anything bigger.. The ride sounds incredible and I can barely crash on it, 24 totally unacceptable
If they sounded like normal cymbals they would be tempting but the dye ink they use is put on to thick and affects the resonante grooves so much so then just sound like dull tin which is no good for any serious drummer
@@erictorres4889 good luck to you fella try out one of the coloured ones with the same as normal the sustain difference and tone are huge depending on your style of music you play they may work for you though style over substance 🤘🍻

i kinda like the colored rides and that 17" colored crash. not as allround as my k & a zildjians, but those could still be very useful in some cases. that colored china however sounds completely dead and any of the cheapest wuhan china's will without a single doubt sound better than that.
The Blue-Cymbal, ln this video, sounded the best. Purple, 2nd-place. Black-Crash, 3rd. Red-Ride(Dry), 4th. The Black-Cymbal(lnverted) sounded, Like an, Aluminum, Trash-Can, Lid(Wouldn't invest in that). :T ...and The Hi-Hats(uggh!) sounded, Like an, Old, Aluminum, Ash-Tray. :T
As much as I’ve always been fascinated with coloursound cymbals , (the way they look) since seeing them for the first time when Nicko Mcbrain of iron maiden use them in the 1980s , I cannot deny the fact , they still sound like B8 pot lid junk , the fact that paiste are still trying to sell these crap sounding cymbals is beyond me dude , it’s gonna take more than a coat of paint to sell these things , they sold stuff all of them back n the 80s with the 2000s series i& yet the re-boot 900s series still sound just as bad why haven’t paiste picked up on this , that’s why they will always be playing 3rd fiddle to Zildjan & Sabian when it comes to the market share 🙄
This entire comment is a case study on how to be wrong in every way possible. Nothing said here is remotely true. Plenty of pro drummers (e.g. Aquiles Priester) use CS 900 cymbals. It's not even paint! It's impossible to put into words just how delusional ObsidianGamer here is. Can you even imagine being so self-absorbed as to use the word "fact" for a blatantly hyperbolic opinion about something you watched one crappy-sounding video of? These idiots never get taken seriously in real life, so they come online to gas each other up. It's hilariously pathetic.
I dig the Mega Ride and the black heavy crash in this set up, but the rest are shit. I hated Paiste coloured cymbals in the 80's and I still hate them now.
That cannot be the "2oo2" Bronze... I owned a set of PST5's... which are in fact 2oo2 Bronze... and they sound abismal better than this shitty cymbals.
Who ever thinks these cymbals sound nice...MUST CHECK THEIR EARS. It´s like hitting metal buckets. Only Priester can handle them well because his music is shit from the beggining so they match up. A decent drummer WOULD NEVER USE THESE. EVER.
The hi-hats are also decent for the price, the regular 900 crashes sound great though as the color coating was made to dampen the sound a bit. Never been into the chinas, or splashes for that matter but they’d probably work great in a stack though.

For inked B8 cymbals, they really don't sound half bad, honestly.
There not B8 cymbals.and there not inked either they are coated cymbals
I actually just ordered me some of these in black always wanted black cymbals
I'd love to hear your thoughts when you get them in your setup.

That china simply sounds like a shoe. And the hi-hat sounds like tapping a table.
Literally the perfect description 😂
can you put somenone NOT afraid of hitting the cymbals like a normal person do?
I wonder how many people are critical of the way these sound.... While listening to this video on a cell phone speaker.
Use headphones.. Duh.
Ohhhh I didn't notice the purple color option until now. *starts saving $$ to buy a few
Are the colors just for fun aesthetics or are they indicative of something
Largely for aesthetics without the cost of incorporating them in a higher end line, though the color coating is also intended to make them a little dryer and lower volume
I would call the 24 inch red ride
Little red ridding hood
*riding
Can you point out in this video the size color correspondence? Which one is 17,19,and 20"???
Hi! Black one is 17", blue one 19" and purple one is 20".
Fab and at such an affordable price
Should I get 22 or 24 inch ride? I play rock

Yeah, I guess they look OK for that certain drummer. If you're serious about sound though...
Super helpful !
Please make a super trashy 20” China in the new Color Sound Line for God’s sake!?
DamionChrist i'm afraid it simply would never work because of the coating.
even a 24" china would still end up sounding dead like this one i suppose.
i kinda like the colored rides and that 17" colored crash.
not as allround as my k & a zildjians, but those could still be very useful in some cases.
that colored china however sounds completely dead and any of the cheapest wuhan china's will without a single doubt sound better than that.
The obvious question...........how long does the paint last? Before it chips off.
I drum tech for the band Lindemann and we used white paiste color sound cymbals. Did a full tour and he hits HARD, no dents or paint chips at all ^^
It's not paint. Paiste has been making coated cymbals for decades. They last a very long time.
@@KimFilppudrummer Are the white cymbals for endorsers only?
@@crashboombang8163 As far as I know it’s a special order atleast. I would get in contact with a dealer and see if it’s possible to order some!
