The Paiste PST5 14' Medium hi-hat is a solid, reliable choice for gigging drummers or those just starting out. They offer a bright, articulate sound without being overly splashy, and the build quality is surprisingly good for their price. These are a great all-around hi-hat for rock, pop, funk, and even some lighter jazz applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PST5 sits below the Signature and Masters lines, offering a more affordable option with a slightly less complex sound and a simpler finish.
Yes, the medium weight provides a good balance—enough articulation for crisp patterns, but also enough body for heavier grooves.
The brushed finish will darken and develop a patina over time with regular playing, but it won’t be as dramatic as with some of Paiste’s raw or unlathed cymbals.
