What is the Paiste PST 3 Crash/Ride?

Paiste has been making cymbals in Switzerland since 1906, and the house sound is consistency. A model sounds like that model, kit to kit and year to year, which is why touring and session players specify a Paiste line rather than hunting for one good example of it. Alloy, lathing and hammering are matched to the series rather than the individual piece.

Why choose Paiste?

Cymbals are the one part of a kit that does not wear out if it is made properly. Buying a series you can rely on means the replacement in five years sounds like the one you have now.
