Paiste 16 Inch PST 5 Medium Crash Cymbal

The Paiste 16 Inch PST 5 Medium Crash Cymbal represents the perfect marriage of Swiss cymbal craftsmanship and German precision engineering. This exceptional cymbal offers fast response characteristics that make it an ideal addition to any drum kit setup. The PST5 series has been a consistent bestseller since its 2005 introduction, providing drummers with an affordable entry point into Paiste's renowned bronze cymbal range.

Paiste's Swiss Sound Development Team has recently redesigned the PST5 series to align with contemporary musical trends, creating cymbals that are notably lighter than their predecessors. This weight reduction produces a deeper, warmer sound profile whilst maintaining the series' characteristic bright tonal foundation. The enhanced flexibility provides a more responsive playing feel, making the overall cymbal significantly more musical in its application.

Constructed from CuSn8 Bronze (also recognised as "2002 Bronze"), this 16–inch medium crash produces a bright, full, and focused sound with medium–wide range and clean mix characteristics. The cymbal's even, responsive feel and well–balanced nature make it suitable for all volume settings, live performance situations, and the complete spectrum of musical styles. Its versatile sound character ensures reliable performance across multiple applications.
