The Light Ride Cymbal
The PST7 ride is a gentle, airy and sparkling cymbal. Featuring a fairly narrow range and a clean mix, it will integrate nicely into the rest of your kit. Intricate patterns on the bell will come out warm and articulate, yet unintrusive. Don’t be afraid to let this cymbal shine tho, as it will surprise you with a full and strong crash sound. The result is an agile and dynamic ride that is great for acoustic situations, but is versatile enough to work in any moderate situation.
