Frequently Asked Questions

The PST5 is a more budget-friendly option, so it lacks the nuanced overtones and longer sustain of the Signature or Masters series. It's a good starting point, but you'll hear the difference as you move up the Paiste hierarchy.
It's a true medium weight, offering a good balance between quick response and a decent amount of sustain. It's not a super-light crash that'll die quickly, nor is it a heavy, trashy crash.
The brushed finish is fairly durable, but it's not as resistant to scratches as a more heavily lacquered finish. Regular cleaning and careful handling will keep it looking good, but expect some patina to develop over time.
