Swiss precision meets legendary bronze craftsmanship in the Paiste 14 Inch PST 7 Thin Crash Cymbal, bringing the renowned 2002 series heritage to an accessible price point. Built from CuSn8 bronze — the same alloy that made the legendary 2002 series famous — this cymbal undergoes traditional hand–lathing by Paiste’s Swiss craftsmen to achieve its distinctive finish and warm, clear sound character.
The PST7 series represents Paiste Sound Technology’s commitment to first–class manufacturing and high–quality sound design without breaking the bank. This 14" thin crash produces a warm, airy tone with a brilliant sizzle, offering a fairly wide range and clean mix that suits drummers seeking traditional sound, look and feel. Its soft, responsive nature makes it perfect for mellow accents and crashes in low to moderate volume settings.
Versatile across all volume settings and music styles, this cymbal handles everything from live performances to casual recording sessions. The PST7 range covers three weight classes — light/thin, medium and heavy — ensuring there’s an option for every drummer’s needs. As endorsed musician Christian Leonhardt from Project Pitchfork notes: “The best, most balanced and nicest sounding cymbals I know on this planet.”
