Paiste PST 8

The Paiste PST 8 cymbal range blends professional-grade materials with precision craftsmanship to deliver high-end sound at an accessible price. Made from the legendary CuSn8 ‘2002 Bronze’ alloy, PST8 cymbals are punched from rolled sheets of B8 bronze, as opposed to 2002 range cymbals being individually cast, but the alloy used is identical.  PST 8 cymbals are refined through traditional hand hammering and finished with Paiste’s distinctive handmade Reflector finish, giving them a brilliant, polished look and enhanced tonal response. These features – hallmarks of Paiste’s Swiss cymbal-making tradition – make PST 8 cymbals feel and sound like premium instruments, while remaining part of the value-focused Paiste Sound Technology line.

Introduced in 2012, the PST 8 series is designed for all volume settings, making it well-suited for live performance, casual recording, and a wide range of musical styles. With a bright, clean, and energetic sound, these cymbals offer excellent clarity, warmth, and tonal definition, delivering both power and musicality. PST 8 is an ideal choice for drummers who want the legendary sound and feel of Paiste’s 2002 heritage – without the premium price tag.
