Frequently Asked Questions

The PST3 sits below the Signature and Masters lines in terms of complexity and finish; it’s more straightforward and durable, built for practicality rather than nuanced sonic textures.
While it can get loud, it's best suited for medium-volume settings; a louder band might find it lacks the projection of heavier cymbals.
The brushed/lathed finish is relatively durable, but avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its appearance and sound over time.
