Another reason why I love my Paiste PST5 cymbals...

Maybe you've seen this already since it's not that new... but here it is:



IMHO, given their price range I don't think any cymbal comes close to PST5...

I love how the alpha's sound

Them too!
The only ones that are obvious crap are PST3... And to be hones I never understood the popularity behind Rude series.
But man, PST5 are insanely good for their price.

pst5's sound pretty decent. alpha's pretty good too but the signature series would be my cymbals of choice if money was no issue.

I agree! Signature "Reflector" actually... or 2002.

Me too

Really only ever been a fan of 2002s and the Twenty series. I seem to have bad luck with Paiste, though. I don't hit very hard, but every single one I've had broke - I've never broken any other cymbals before

Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a decent set of "house" cymbals and these may just hit the spot. I like that the crashes are "quick" sounding and don't have too much build up going on.

Any idea what model/sizes are in this video?

Thanks.

Another happy Paiste user here!
I love my alphas!
But I plan to upgrade to 2002 in the future, and possible few Rudes as well.

Wasn't a fan of the Rude's. PST 5's and Alpha's sound very good for the price.

I think you really notice the difference in the Ride cymbals when moving up the range's, the differences in the crash/hi-hats is more subtle.

I wouldn't know... But on few occasions I've identified several cymbals and they were usually most representative for the given series...

I personally love how dark and sugar-y the Rude's are. All cymbal companies should make comparison videos like this, it's perfect and as scientific as you can get.

Exactly! Not only cymbal companies but every manufacturer of any kind of audio equipment. It's arrogant and stupid not to have that kind of advertisement in this internet era...

I picked up a few pst5s before embarking on a 30 day tour last summer due to not having any cash and needing some new crashes. To my surprise they were really nice for the price.

With that in mind, i play all AAX/HHX now that im home from tour and have some cash and believe the price difference is still worth it, but damn those pst5s are a really killer deal for anyone on a tight budget.

that's what I liked the most about rude series - the ride!

 

[DeclanWhite]

they all sound like shit in person IMO

except the twenty series which is made in turkey by murat diril, not paiste
