Great Tone Made Affordable

The PST7 series is the result of Paiste's continued development of materials and production techniques - giving you the sound and quality you're used to from Paiste cymbals at an affordable price. Made using the same CuSn8 Bronze (aka 2002 Bronze) base that their famous 2002 series is comprised of, these cymbals work great in a wide variety of musical settings to keep your kit's sound as versatile as you need it to be. The sound is brilliant and clear, warm and strong, with powerful projection. Sweetwater's drum experts will tell you the quickest way to freshen up your drum sound is with new cymbals, and Paiste makes that easy with the PST7 series.

Paiste - a tradition of innovation

Paiste meets the creative needs of drummers and percussionists with innovative cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments. Founded at the beginning of the 20th Century, Paiste lays claim to a number of cymbal firsts, including the first use of 8% bronze, the wavy-edged hi-hat bottom cymbal, the bell-less flat ride, unlathed hammered cymbals, color-coated cymbals, China cymbals with a downturned edge, and the invention of their Signature Bronze Alloy. World-class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta have long relied on Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds - and so can you!

Paiste's PST7 16" crash cymbal is bright, warm, and brilliant with a medium wide range, and clean mix. Use this crash for accents in many different musical styles.

Cutting Crash

I received the 16 inch PST crash as a gift from a friend since he switched to the heavier models. Not that he didnt like the paiste PST 7 line, just preferred a heavier sound. Played with this crash for months and I love it! The sound is cutting, bright, and fits in with my 18 inch 2002 crash. My only issues I have with it is that there is a small overtone ring that it has that I don't favor and that playing soft music with it is not favorable. Other than that, the overtone isnt to horrible, and if your looking for a straight cutting crash without the heft of the price tag, the PST 7 16 inch crash is just for you.
