Frequently Asked Questions
The PST7 is a more budget-friendly option, lacking the complexity and nuanced overtones of the Signature or Masters lines; it’s a simpler, more direct sound.
While it *can* be used, the thinner weight won't handle aggressive playing as well as a heavier ride; it might crack under heavy abuse.
CuSn8 bronze offers a warmer, more mellow tone than the B20 bronze used in many higher-end cymbals, contributing to the ride’s brightness and responsiveness.
