Paiste PST5 18" Crash / Ride '14

I love the sound of my PST5 18" ride symbal !!

The sound was exactly what I was looking for, amazing.

I love the sound playing softly with brushes or bamboo roods.

Serves as a crash cymbal.

Sounds Good, Plays very well

Nothing else to say. I'm very happy with this crash. I pair it with - Paiste PST5 16" Medium Crash '14 - and the pair plays wonders. It's not a 200€ cymbal but for my style and usage I really enjoy it. And also sounds good on recordings.

My dad doesn't like it cause it's more open than a standard Ride.

That's the reason I love it!

Nice Cymbal For The Price

For the price, this crash/ride cymbal is great value. It is better used as a ride cymbal rather than a crash, as the sound of the crash is quite dark, but with a good sustain. I guess if one is going to use a minimum of two more crashes, plus a dedicated ride cymbal with this cymbal, then it is nice to have the variety of sound this cymbal offers.
