Two New Lines from One Magnificent Brand

Paiste, the world renowned European cymbal maker announces the launch of the new PST5 and PST7 Series Cymbals. Paiste Sound Technology stands for first-class manufactured cymbals and high quality sound design at an affordable price. PST5 is the entry to Paiste’s world of bronze cymbals and since its introduction in 2005; it continues to be a best seller. Considering recent musical trends, the PST5 was newly designed by our Swiss Sound Development Team. Paiste’s PST3, PST5 and PST8 ranges are best sellers that set benchmarks in their cymbal classes. PST7 adds an affordable line for drummers who like a traditional sound, look and feel.

Visually the PST5 were consciously altered only in detail but their fundamental sonic value changed considerably. The cymbals are lighter resulting in a deeper, warmer sound while preserving its bright basic character. They have increased flexibility resulting in a more appealing feel. Overall the new PST5 is significantly more musical. By Contrast, the PST7’s base is CuSn8 bronze which stems from the legendary 2002 series. The cymbals are lathed by Paiste’s Swiss hand craftsmen to achieve their distinctive traditional finish. The result of the precise Swiss manufacturing is a warm and clear overall sound and by offering three weight classes, light/thin, medium and heavy, PST7 covers a wide range of different music styles.
