Paiste PST7 Heavy/Rock Cymbal Set (14" Hi-Hats, 16" & 20")

The Paiste PST7 Heavy/Rock Cymbal Set delivers a complete three-piece cymbal package designed specifically for loud, high-energy musical styles. Built from CuSn8 bronze–the same alloy used in Paiste's legendary 2002 series–these cymbals are lathed by Swiss craftsmen to achieve their distinctive traditional appearance and tonal character. This pack includes 14" heavy hi-hats, a 16" heavy crash, and a 20" heavy ride, all engineered with increased weight and brightness to cut through amplified guitars and aggressive backbeats in rock, hard rock, and heavy metal contexts.

The 14" heavy hi-hats feature a balanced stick sound with lively response intensity, medium sustain, and a pronounced chick sound that cuts through dense mixes with clarity and power. The 16" heavy crash offers a washy stick definition, explosive attack, and medium sustain, delivering a strong, rich crash tone with a clean mix across a medium-wide frequency range. The 20" heavy ride provides a bright, pronounced ping over controlled wash, long sustain, and a separated bell character that produces a cutting tone. All three cymbals share a heavy feel and bright tonal profile, ensuring assertiveness and projection in high-volume performance environments.
