Best Paiste 10" PSTX Swiss Hats Alternatives

Based on 3 reviews

Having been playing a many number of years (25 now!) i always gravitated towards smaller but heavier cymbals generally, for feel and sound but also transport as i don't drive...after 10 years of playing pro i went into semi-retirement and started experimenting with different sizes and sounds, and started favouring 10" hats but i found these after looking around, they cut great especially mounted bottom on top, my gigging set up now has no cymbals bigger than 12" with 8" or 10" hats...(i use 14" crashes in my studio) these make great x-hats or main hats...i love em.

I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked these babies. Cold , hard metal, and a significant weight added to the feel of "quality". Ten inch may not be much, but they can be very loud when needed, and oh so funky when the music demands it. The sound is defined, and the chick is small but prominent. Riding the open hats has its limitations, but is still perfectly doable. The only thing I have a slight problem with is that the edges really eat sticks, as compared to other famous brand cymbals/hats I own. Depends on your playing style obviously, but should be considered. All n'all though I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

Great to be able to get a handmade product like this at an affordable price. It's got that great raw handmade Instanbul quality about them, love it. Sound is dry and crisp with nice bite of attack to really contrast well with your main hi hats. I personally use this in a lot of drum and bass and jungle beat style drumming. They work an absolute treat. I would recommend any drummer getting these if they are looking for secondary hi hats. Just a great product.
