Drum Cymbal Paiste PST 3 China 18"

The Paiste PST 3 China 18" is an accent cymbal designed for musicians who want an expressive, dirty and emotional sound at an affordable price. Made of MS63 alloy (copper with a high zinc content), this 18" China has a medium weight and a bright, slightly harsh sound with a distinct thrash character. It opens up well even with a slight impact, showing a quick response, short sustain and a direct, dirty tone. The frequency spectrum is of medium width, with a moderately complex mix dominated by midrange frequencies with a slight bias towards darker shades. The PST 3 China 18" is perfect for short accents, sharp introductions, and emotional transitions in many musical styles, from rock and punk to alternative and pop. It adds characteristic exoticism and energy to the mix without overwhelming the overall sound. It is the perfect choice for those looking for a recognisable china sound without the expense and quality guaranteed by Paiste.
