Over 70 years ago, Paiste started producing cymbals by means of traditional hand craftsmanship using a defined sound concept and strict quality standards. Today, Paiste still uses this ancient method exclusively for cymbals in the professional class in its Swiss production facility.

Paiste employs modern, hi-tech production techniques in its German production facility for the manufacture of affordable cymbals. The company utilizes its extensive Swiss-based know-how and successfully transfers the essence of hand manufacture principles to modern, technical production. Paiste is a pioneer in this field, based on its 25 year experience with production of cymbals based on technology and automation.

Thanks to modern digital technology, Paiste says they have now achieved a significant improvement in the transfer of Swiss know-how concerning cymbal shape, structure and sound to the German production facility. The results of these intensive efforts are the new Paiste Sound Technology cymbals – PST 3 and PST 5.

For the manufacture of PST 5 cymbals, Paiste uses the same bronze alloy as in its professional class, which became known through the 2002 series. The combination of the sonorous bronze with the new production methods provides drummers with new sound dimensions, and due to a rich program, with numerous possibilities to design an individual cymbal set, according to the company.

PST 3 cymbals are made from a selected and especially sonorous brass copper based alloy.
