Overview

The Paiste PST 5 14″ Medium Hats are an exceptional pair of cymbals designed for musicians and producers who demand high-quality, versatile sound without compromising on affordability. As part of the acclaimed PST 5 series, these 14-inch hats represent Paiste’s commitment to first-class manufacturing and superior sound design. They are engineered to be an all-purpose hi-hat, making them suitable for a vast spectrum of musical styles, from subtle jazz grooves to driving rock rhythms.

While visually similar to previous iterations, the modern PST 5 hats feature lighter construction, resulting in a noticeably deeper and warmer tone while retaining the bright, crisp character that Paiste is known for. This balance allows the player to achieve a full open sound with a clear, crisp chick sound, providing an even and controllable feel across all volume settings.
