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 18" heavy crash cymbal is bright, warm, airy, and powerful with a fairly wide range, sizzle, and clean mix. Use this cymbal for a light crash on accents that works well for rock and louder musical styles.

Great mid-level cymbal

Although it's positioned as a mid-level cymbal, this cymbal outperforms. Made from the 2002 alloy though machine hammered, the cymbals sound and look great. If you're not quite ready for 2002s give this one a go, you will not be disappointed. In my opinion the Paiste makes the best sounding cymbals in the game and the PST7s are some of the best bang for your buck cymbals you will find.

Special shoutout to my sales rep Alex, he's a legend. Always keeps me up to date and responds quickly to all my questions!

Solid Mid-Range Cymbal

I recently bought (and returned) the Meinl HCS 18" Crash and replaced it with this Paiste. It is twice the price... but it definitely sounds twice as good. Nice and heavy with a lingering ring. Paiste makes good stuff
