Paiste PST3 16" Crash

Anonymous 23.03.2014

this crash is nothing special for this price.
I´m not sad that i bought hat cymbal but i would´t buy it again.
i think there are better cymbals for that money.
Bell and and played as ride are absolute not good, but its a crash.
the crash sound okay and at least better than my old crash.
i try to describe it a little bit:
You hear quite strong the stroke of the stick.
and than a quite long finish.
well i tried it ;)
But after 1 year I bought a Zildijan avedis fast crash.
Well, it costs more than the double.
conclusion: Sound is good but i would pay fewer for it.

Good quality, decent sound

BrianD 09.06.2013

I have owned one for over 2 years and it barley has stick marks. Very good quality. Doesn't easily crack or dent.
It may be my personal tastes but I don't think the sound is very good. It is loud and has a long sustain which is good but I think it sounds too bright. These cymbals are made of copper which isn't a very good material for cymbals but any other cymbal in this price range is made of similar or worse material. Overall the sound is pretty good but it could be a lot better.
If you think you will be playing for a long time maybe you should buy a PST5 which costs a little bit more but is made of better material.

Okey quality cymbal for beginner player on drums. For professional use not suggested. Price is too big for it's quality but if you are using it for just fun or something like that, thats okey.
