Paiste 20 inch PST5 Medium Ride Cymbal

The Paiste 20 inch PST5 Medium Ride Cymbal represents exceptional value in bronze cymbal craftsmanship, offering professional–grade sound quality at an accessible price point. Paiste Sound Technology has established itself as a leader in manufacturing first–class cymbals with superior sound design, and the PST5 series serves as the perfect entry point into Paiste’s renowned bronze cymbal range. Since its debut in 2005, this series has maintained its position as a consistent best seller among drummers worldwide.

The PST5 series underwent a comprehensive redesign by Paiste’s Swiss Sound Development Team to align with contemporary musical trends. While the visual changes remain subtle and refined, the fundamental sonic characteristics have been significantly enhanced. The cymbals now feature a lighter construction that produces deeper, warmer tones whilst maintaining their distinctive bright character, and the increased flexibility provides a more responsive and appealing playing feel.

This medium ride cymbal produces a bright, full, and warm sound character with a medium–wide range and clean mix. Players will appreciate the even feel and balanced, defined ping that cuts through a clean wash. The versatile nature of this ride makes it suitable for an extensive range of musical styles and applications, from jazz and rock to contemporary genres.
