Series Description: Paiste Sound Technology stands for first-class manufactured cymbals and high quality sound design at an affordable price. PST7 adds an affordable line for drummers who like a traditional sound, look and feel. PST7's base is CuSn8 bronze which stems from the legendary 2002 series. The cymbals are lathed by our Swiss hand craftsmen to achieve their distinctive traditional look and finish. The result of Paiste's 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.

What is the Paiste PST 7 Heavy Hi-Hat?
Hi-hats live or die on the relationship between the two cymbals. Paiste weights top and bottom as a pair so the closed chick is tight and the half-open wash is controllable, rather than leaving the drummer to match two pieces by ear. Singles are available where one half needs replacing.
