The PST7 base is CuSn8 bronze which stems from the legendary 2002 series. The overall sound is warm and clear. Perfect for whatever genres you’re into. However within this series it’s still important to choose the right cymbal for your playing style. That’s why with the PST7 series offers three weight classes to match how you play.

If you just feel like you play normally, with a mix of harder and softer sticking technique, you will want to try out the medium weight. If however you give your cymbals a regular beating for heavier styles of music, check out the heavy weight cymbals that give a bolder tone and will be more resilient to constant abuse. Finally, if you prefer the lighter touch with delicate sticking technique with subtle variations, you will find the thin set more responsive to your every touch and deliver a higher clarity of detail.

Whatever you choose in the PST7 range, you can be assured with precise Swiss manufacturing you are buying a quality instrument that is unsurpassed at its price-point.

Crash Cymbals

Crash cymbals are used for accents, transitions and larger musical statements, with tone shaped by diameter, weight, profile, alloy, hammering, lathing and finish. Smaller or thinner crashes may open quickly and decay sooner, while larger or heavier models can provide more projection and sustain. Some crash-rides offer a broader role with a usable ride area. Compare the cymbal’s intended style, volume, stick response and blend with the existing kit, and check whether the listing is for one cymbal or part of a pack.

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.
