What is the Paiste PST 3 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.
