Here’s what the Drum Department says about Paiste PST8 Cymbals

Unlike the rest of the PST families, the PST 8s use Paiste’s flagship 2002 bronze and are the introductory set to their higher-spec cymbal ranges. These cymbals, handmade in Switzerland, are bright, focused and very cutting, which allows them to excel in a live setting. The PST 8s are the perfect set of cymbals for drummers that are frequently gigging and working on small scale recording projects.

Here’s what Paiste say about PST8 Cymbals

PST 8 cymbals are crafted from the legendary 2002 bronze, refined through traditional hand hammering and perfected with the unique handmade Reflector finish. These hallmarks of Swiss workmanship make these cymbals pure Paiste instruments, yet they are as attractively priced as the other successful Paiste Sound Technology series.

Paiste

Paiste cymbals deliver clarity, precision, and musical balance, helping drummers achieve consistent tone and projection across a wide range of styles. Known for their smooth, controlled sound and reliable response, Paiste cymbals provide clear stick definition, balanced wash, and predictable dynamics in both live and studio settings. They allow drummers to shape articulation and expression with confidence, ensuring cymbals sit cleanly in a mix while adding character and energy to the overall kit.

Category

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.

Ride Cymbals

Ride cymbals provide a defined playing surface for timekeeping, with a bell and edge that can add accents or crashes. Compare diameter, weight, profile, bow response, bell size, stick definition, wash, sustain and whether the cymbal is designed to crash as well as ride. Larger or heavier rides often provide more projection, while lighter models may open more readily and blend into quieter music. Check the exact series and finish, and remember that a stand, boom, felt and wingnut are separate unless the listing says otherwise.
