Paiste 16 Inch PST 7 Heavy Crash Drum Cymbal

The Paiste 16 Inch PST 7 Heavy Crash Cymbal brings professional–grade bronze construction to drummers seeking exceptional value without compromising on sound quality. Built from the same CuSn8 Bronze (2002 Bronze) that forms the foundation of Paiste’s renowned 2002 series, this cymbal offers brilliant clarity, warmth, and powerful projection across diverse musical applications. The PST 7 series represents Paiste’s ongoing refinement of materials and production methods, making their signature sound accessible at an affordable price point.

Paiste has pioneered cymbal innovation since the early 20th century, introducing groundbreaking developments including the first 8% bronze alloy, wavy–edged hi–hat bottoms, bell–less flat rides, and their proprietary Signature Bronze Alloy. Legendary drummers like Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta have built their distinctive sounds around Paiste cymbals, testament to the company’s commitment to meeting the creative demands of percussionists worldwide.

This 16" heavy crash produces a bright, warm, and airy tone with impressive power and a fairly wide frequency range. The cymbal’s sizzle characteristics and clean mix make it particularly effective for light crash accents in rock and other high–energy musical styles, providing the versatility modern drummers require.
