@MrMmnngghh yes sir. I remember buying the pst 8s in a cymbal box set for about $500. The Ride Cymbal & hi-hats are the only two cymbals I love in the pst 8 series.
@@DemetriusConley I hear you. I'm trying to pair that ride with a PST7 Light Ride as a crash, and hopefully a PST7 17' crash. You're right about the PST8 crashes. I can't work out why they sound flat and hollow when they should zing and ping. It's weird. The PST7 crashes, on the other hand, are like a warm hug that says "hit me again"
@MrMmnngghh absolutely homie. When I first got my first pst 7 cymbal, which I think was the 18" crash. I fell in love with the sound, I use it mostly for recording & sometimes live performing when I'm out to live gigs.
I just picked up a PST 5 Rock Ride on Reverb from a private seller for about $95 in excellent condition. It is still made today and sells new for around $175.
The ride sounds better than my Zildjian I series 20 crash/ride using as a crash, but this being a medium thickness! The PST7 light ride maybe even much better as a crash/ride. I must say, the Zildjian I series is not that bad, but compared to Paiste's always different.
Provavelmente a minha opinião não será a mais acertada más, o som do pst7 tem mais sim mais calor e mais corpo tocado seja ele no corpo do prato ou na cópola ... o Pst8 tem uma sonoridade mais contida por ter os martelos entre os arcos de fios ... também tem a sua beleza claro, mas particolamente gosto mais do som do Pst7. Ps... minha opinião .
PST 8's works perfectly for live performances. In contrast, the pst 7's sounds very traditional, but still it opens up a very good sound. It's professional-entry level cymbals for any professional drummer. That's why I love 'em.
@@DemetriusConley for what it's worth, I think you're both right. I'm currently trying to build a cymbal set on a slim budget for a friend who has their first drum kit. I play Paiste myself, from 900 Series through to Signatures and Formula 602's. The budget I' m working with on this particular mission directs straight to Paiste PST7 and PST8, as both destroy the competition at entry level bronze. Both have their advantages - the warmth and spread of the PST7 vs the powerful attack of the PST8 - so depending on who is releasing second hand gear will determine which series I choose. I've no doubt it will be a blend of both.
Ooofff, that PST8 bell is super clean 👏🤘

@@_Music.A_ anytime there & happy new year's! :)
@DemetriusConley Both sets of smart cymbals 💷💎
Happy new year, GO GET the people who nourish the time you spend together 🧠🚀👋🏻
In this case I will choose PST8. Sounds "more expensive" than PST7

PST8 sounds much better. The PST7 has an overbearing metallic roar that just doesn't very good.
