General

What immediately catches the eye with this set are the holes. This sets the PST X Swiss Hats hi-hat apart from other sets. Because of these holes, the sound is also different from regular hi-hats; it most resembles an analogue drum computer. The 16-inch large cymbals are both medium thin type and are finished with a silk-like finish. This is a set that is very suitable for electronic music, hip-hip beats, but also certainly doesn't look out of place as a second hi-hat.

Raw and dry

The holes in the cymbals provide a dry, raw sound when the hi-hat is closed. When open, the set is quite loud, but with a medium to short sustain it is also quickly gone. A CuSn8 alloy with 8 per cent tin was chosen, which is equivalent to a B8 alloy. This set is particularly lively in character.

Wrote the following about Paiste PST X Swiss Hats 16-inch hi-hats

Dit is een heftig instrument. rauw en scherp. Met de voet bespeeld geeft de hihat een korte harde metalen tik., Dicht bespeeld afhankelijk van de voetdruk kort of trashy en in de lijn zoals de trashsets van Paiste ook klinken. Open met een crashslag levendig en ondanks alle gaten heel verrassend toch met voldoende sustain. Lijkt me wat minder geschikt voor de jazzspeler, maar zeg nooit nooit. En de looks..... opvallend.
