paiste pst 5 rides, hi-hats and splashes are the best low end cymbals i have ever heard... I own wuhan s series cymbals and i have tried many things in this price range and i assure you that the pst 5 is awsome! I have never tried pst 5 crashes and chinas though...
I just picked up paiste pst3 13 inch hi hats and 18 inch crash ride (they were on sale in double pack for 80 bucks) and they are fucking incredible for the price I paid, I would have gladly paid at least 150 for each, they have an AMAZING sound for the price, and they do not dent at all even if I smack them as hard as I can go try them out they are great for the price
out of all the semi pro cymbals sabian b8's, b8 pros zildjian zbt zxt zht's and paiste pst3 pst5 the pst5's are your best bang for your buck. just go out and test them at a guitar center. zht's are overpriced to be honest. now zildjian A customs are my dream cymbals. but for now pst5's will do :)
i hated to zbt crash, they are $60 for a reason. you get 2 seconds of crash sound then 2 minutes of overpowering overtones. im planning on buying the pst5s, hope those are better
@mikeMX3000 i agree with you all the way. Although drummers at my school think ZBT are better than pst5, but these are kids that have never touched any other cymbal besides Zildjian. personal i think Paiste's are so much better Zildjian's.
the reason why I like the Paiste PST 5 better than the Paiste PST 3, is because the sound you get when you first hit. Also PST 5 are made of the same high-grade bronze alloy as it's professional class. PST 3, is made from brass copper based alloy, which doesn't give as warm and rich sound as bronze does. PST 5, all the way:)
Honestly, Pst 3, are much better than the B8 and ZBTs. The only down fall is that the PST 3's are made of brass, as were B8's and ZBT's are made of sheet bronze. I prefer and recommend PST 5 cymbals. They are made of bronze alloy, which is also used to make their professional class cymbals. PST 3 and PST 5 sound similar, but PST 5 is louder and more defined than the PST 3's.
That's what I figured (though I was slightly too poor to get a Pst 5 ride, so I just went with the Pst 3 anyway; it sounds fine for my purposes). I mean, I knew that Pst 3s were higher quality than ZBTs and B8s, but I wondered if they were still considered equal in terms of status. Thanks.
I think B8s are under ZBTs. I've got the ZBT hats and crash/ride (used solely as a crash), and I got a 14" B8 Thin Crash for comparison, and they blew it out of the water. I replaced for a bigger, thicker, B8 Pro, which still gets on my nerves. The B8 was insanely bright, like a friqqin splash, it was horrible. I couldn't bear to listen to the sound for more than a day for fear that my ears would start bleeding.
@Ggevorkyan Idk, it's all really personal preference, I shop and buy to satisfy the sound that I like. I will agree that ZBTs suck, but I like the sound of PST5 over B8s.
And yes, the PST 3 are to Paiste, as the B8 are to sabian and ZBT are to ziljian. PST 3 are the lowest, most beginner cymbals Paiste offers, as the B8's and ZBT's.
no, 101 Brass is in the range of Sabian's Solar or Zildjian Planet Z.
PST3 are maybe in the range of B8 of Sabian or ZBT of Zildjian. Also PST3 are made of Brass, instead of Sabian B8 and Zildjian ZBT, so they are cheaper and very good sounding.
Pst3 are made of the same metal as Solar and Planet Z and with the same technological processes. And all three brands suck equally. 101s are just as bad. 502s are bronze.
for me and many other people PST3 are better than new ZBT and 101, even though they are made of brass, Paiste is known of good production and manipulaton of the metals, just see the 2oo2 lines, they are professional level and are made of B8, same of Sabian's entry level B8 or B8pro
Exactly but the 2002's sound AMAZING! I couldnt believe it when I found out they were B8, but I think its because they are cast B8 and not sheet and also the metal manipulation like you said.
i really like the first cymbal. i got it self. i got a Paiste Pst5 18" Rock crash. wery deep. i also got a 14" Paiste Alpha hi-hat. i really love it. and i got a 18" Sabian Hxx Crash/Ride..
maybe mine were just manufactured messed up, idk really cause other than mine I've never seen them anywhere else. i only had the 13" hats and 18" crash/ride, and i usually like crash/rides, but the one i got in the pack just sounded horrible, kinda like those cymbals that come with a walmart brand drumset, but i guess its possible it got messed up in the making.
I have PST5s. My friend has 3s.I couldn't believe the difference! The volume alone. I used a mixture live once and i couldn't hear the PST3s. PST5s, for their price must be the best cymbal. I only got them because they seemed a decent brand. I had never heard of them and it was a great buy!
Well right, generally a cymbal sounds much better with a bass punch below it. This is only a demo so I didn't bother. And, when I made this, I didn't have a mic kit.
No problem my man. They sound great, just messin wit ya. Seriously, thanks for the sound test. Reading reviews helps other drummers out, but sound tests are the best to let the fellows know what to expect. Rock On
thank you very much dude, you inspired me what cymbals i have to buy ^^ i only have paiste cymbals of the 101, the 201, the pst3 and the alpha series, but now i know that pst5-cymbals sounds FUCKIN GREAT!!
The Paiste Pst 5 cymbals are very nice! i play them too(14" hi hat 14" crash" 16" crash 10" splash 20" ride and a paiste alpha 16" china)..some pst 5 cymbals are even better than alphas! for example the 10" splash. only two things are bad: the bell of the medium ride and the chinas. but you wont find anything that sounds so good for this low price
Yeah, B8 Pros are a little better than 'em. If you're gonna get paiste, make sure all of your shit is over $100. I find that anything they make that's sold for $100 or less is terrible quality. I actually had a cymbal crack within a week.
they're both made of CuSn8 bronze, but Paiste has mastered the way they make cymbals, so my ears tend to like pst5 and 2oo2's the most especially the 2oo2 medium ride.
they are the cheaper line, but they sount much better. you'l get more out of cheap paiste than you will with a cheap zildjian. plus they don't crack as easily and can take a real beating
Very correct. I had a 10" Zild ZBT, sounded like shit.. my Paiste 10" PST5 is waaay on the other end of the spectrum. I think it could pass as a member of any 'ole intermediate/advanced line of any company.
no hes serious. a stagg rep went into a shop in my area and asked the man in the shop to get out the best ride he had in the shop and play it agaisnt the top of the range stagg ride. the stagg ride outperformed and sounded way better than this other ride (it was a zildjian ride probs one of the custom series) the stagg rep said i lied to you. that stagg ride is the bottom of the range.
they last longer (for hard players)
they sound better, but tbh i wudnt want stagg writen all over my cymbals
Hey, I'm starting to teach my self drums and I need to get some cymbals, I am getting Paiste and my favourite drummer is Phil Rudd. What would be the best kind of cymbols to get to get his sound?
as far as i can see from photos of phils setup, he seems to play 2002s, but i can't tell what sizes or models i'm afraid. in any case, they are fantastic cymbals....a lot of money, but among the best there are.
if your beggining, dont worry about having the same sounding cymbals and buying the most expensive ones. Just buy a good starting kit and learn on that, once you learn how to play stuff, then add stuff to your kit.
Hi! Very good video! It helps a lot to have a very good idea on the sound of the cymbals. I believe that the best way to have a concrete idea of the sound of the cymbals in order to make the decision to buy it to COMPARE sounds!
Can you please inform about the brand, model and series of the video camera that you used to make this video?

no hes serious. a stagg rep went into a shop in my area and asked the man in the shop to get out the best ride he had in the shop and play it agaisnt the top of the range stagg ride. the stagg ride outperformed and sounded way better than this other ride (it was a zildjian ride probs one of the custom series) the stagg rep said i lied to you. that stagg ride is the bottom of the range.
they last longer (for hard players)
they sound better, but tbh i wudnt want stagg writen all over my cymbals

in all fairnes, stagg do some pretty nice cymbals at a 3rd of what zildjian or sabian do
and there all hand made

I love the sound of the Pst 5 16" crash, and it's ridiculously cheap, but nowhere around here gets Paiste at all.

what do you guys recomend for me to get with my 16" Zildjian K.. i've been thinking of getting 16" PST 5 Medium Thin...
Ruther 4 years ago
i dont know man... k is really dark and warm while psts are really bright and cutting.
it might not work out, but who knows.. you gotta try it out for yourself.
hope that helps.

Hey, I'm starting to teach my self drums and I need to get some cymbals, I am getting Paiste and my favourite drummer is Phil Rudd. What would be the best kind of cymbols to get to get his sound?
hardrockerdave94 4 years ago
as far as i can see from photos of phils setup, he seems to play 2002s, but i can't tell what sizes or models i'm afraid. in any case, they are fantastic cymbals....a lot of money, but among the best there are.

2002's are great. My ride is a heavy 2002.

if your beggining, dont worry about having the same sounding cymbals and buying the most expensive ones. Just buy a good starting kit and learn on that, once you learn how to play stuff, then add stuff to your kit.

Hi! Very good video! It helps a lot to have a very good idea on the sound of the cymbals. I believe that the best way to have a concrete idea of the sound of the cymbals in order to make the decision to buy it to COMPARE sounds!
Can you please inform about the brand, model and series of the video camera that you used to make this video?
Thank you very much.

PST is a great Paiste invention

mikeMX- by the way your cymbals tilt on their stands it looks like you should replace the sleeves so they don't get keyholed.

zildjian what? shitty zbts? psts are the best in their price range, and if you want even better sound you'd have to pay about twice as much.
MikeyFlorida 4 years ago
for a fully machine made cymbal, these are some of the best out there, but hearing them in person is entirely different than here.
