  • NO NO NO NO!!!  Not the newer bogus 900 Colosounds that are cheap and just coated on one side!

  • THESE ARE THE ORIGINALS THAT ARE FULLY COATED! The Colorsound 5s!

  • The harder to find Made In Switzerland Paiste COLOSOUND 5 14” Heavy Hihats in a deep VERMILLION RED!

  • Over 40 years old and they sound amazing. Tight and focused and crisp. 

  • Many people see the Paiste Colorsounds and think...
    "Wow, there's a red (or black, or green, or blue) cymbal. Funky." But what people often forget is that the Colorsounds SOUND much different than any other Paste series.

  • Yes it’s the ink! And it’s the ink on both sides.

  • Weighing in at a lovely 948 grams for the Top Cymbal, and 1052 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these Colorsound 5 Hats play like Medium Thin DRY Hats. They may be called "Heavy Hats" but they don't play heavy. The weights are actually that of Thinner New Beat Hihats.  

  • The tone is semi-dark and yes, it's DRY and focused ...but it’s ALSO mellooooooow. These are unique sounding Pastes---I can't think of any other hihats in the catalogue that sound like these.

  • Strong chick tone, very tight, clean and focused, great articulation, definitely DRY, with a fast decay...and mellow. THAT's these hihats.

  • Unique. Harder to find in red.  Stand out both visually and sonically.  

  • No issues. Fantastic natural patina built up. Absolutely terrific sounding Paiste hats.
