Sound Character

The PST 7 series is built for drummers who like the traditional Paiste sound at a more accessible price point. The China model has a distinct, washy attack with lively intensity, while the overall tone stays warm and clear rather than harsh or trashy. The integrated bell allows the cymbal to also be used for accents and clearer markers within a groove.

Construction

The cymbal is cast from CuSn8 bronze, part of the legendary "2002 Bronze" alloy family. The PST 7 series comes in three weight classes – Light/Thin, Medium and Heavy – to suit different playing styles and genres; this model is medium weight, giving it a volume range from medium-low to loud.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want an affordable china with classic Paiste character, whether you play rock, pop or other genres where a washy but still controlled attack is needed. Works well in the rehearsal room and on stage, as well as in some recording contexts.
