Paiste PST5 18" Rock Crash '14

Great sound, price and quality

The greatest quality/price ratio, I've bought it for my rehearsal studio.

Very long life crash ;)

Nice sound

For a budget cymbal, it has an excellent sound that carries well

Piste PST5 18" Rock crash

The reason I bought this cymbal was for my drum kit as I only had one. I already had the PST5 16 inch crash so I knew this would be good and I didn't fail me. I think pros of this cymbal are its a good sounding cymbal, It looks very nice because it has a bronze shine to it, Its very sturdy and it has a nice bell. Now the cons for this product is that it gets these tiny white marks along the edges when you strike it hard but that's really the only problem I had with it and I'm sure there's a way of fixing that. I would recommend this cymbal to people who need a good sounding and affordable 18 inch cymbal.

This cymbal has a great sustain and a great finish, it cuts through everything at every rehearsal and gig. I wouldn't use a different mark of cymbals.

Great Sounding Cymbal Paiste PST5 18" Rock Crash '14

After about 15 years of drumming with my old sabian b8 pro cymbals I was ready for a change...Paiste seemed like a great brand to try out. I am very impressed with the overall quality and sound of these cymbals. They are bright and warm, which fits my sound preference perfectly. These cymbals are not just for beginners, any seasoned drummer or gigging musician will find great value in these great sounding cymbals. Very impressive. These are some of the heaviest cymbals I've played. By themselves, these cymbals sound decent. They have a very dark, washy sound and have a very long decay.

Five stars for Paiste...I'm hooked!
