Frequently Asked Questions

The PST3 uses a bronze alloy, which is less complex than the Signature or R series' B20 bronze, resulting in a brighter, more direct sound with less overtones.
While it can function as a ride, its thinner weight limits its bell projection and wash; experienced players will find it less versatile than a dedicated ride.
The PST3 series is reasonably durable, but the thinner profile means they're more susceptible to cracking than heavier cymbals if mishandled or played aggressively.
