Paiste PST7 20" Heavy Ride

PST7's seem to be the sweet spot for budget cymbals that would not dissapoint in terms of sound quality. This one I liked right away.

Pro's:
This heavy ride most definitely won't dissapoint. Finish screams quality, and sound is, well, the way I like it: crisp, pingy (high pitch), not roomy, does not "swoosh" like thin/medium rides often do.

Cons:
You can't really crash-hit a heavy ride like this, so don't expect it to be crash-able exactly. You surely can hit it like a crash, but you need some serious force to bring it to life. I would go with an 18'' crash with this one for crash/riding.

Recommened!

First off I just want to say that I am super happy with this ride cymbal! The Paiste PST7 line are ridiculously good quality cymbals and so affordable. Whether you are a drummer just starting off or you are an intermediate or above, these cymbals are a must. Paiste are already a great cymbal brand but with the price of the PST7's you can have a great cymbal collection for a very affordable price, which is even cheaper when purchased from Thomann thanks to their low price of this line. This ride cymbal has a great sound, nice and clear and great stick definition on the body. The bell could be a bit louder but I know most heavy ride cymbals suffer from this but all in all it is still a nice and clear ping from the bell. Great cymbal and great price.
