Medium 18” crash cymbal from PST 5 series that 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 series was designed by the Paiste’s Swiss Sound Development Team: the cymbals are lighter resulting in a deeper, warmer sound while preserving its bright basic character and they have increased flexibility resulting in a more appealing feel. The crash is made of the CuSn8 Bronze alloy, also known as “2002 Bronze”, and delivers bright, full and focused sound with medium wide range and clean mix. It provides even, responsive feel, medium long sustain and washy stick sound. In short, it is a well-balanced, musical crash for multiple applications.
