Frequently Asked Questions
The PST7 is a more budget-friendly option; you'll notice a difference in complexity and sustain compared to the higher-end lines.
Like any bronze cymbal, it *can* crack with abuse, but the PST7's construction makes it relatively durable compared to thinner models.
While it's versatile, its powerful sound might be overwhelming in very quiet jazz settings; a lighter, more complex cymbal would be preferable.
