Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal 16"

Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal – Aggressive Trash Hat Sound

The Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal delivers a distinctive "trash-hat" voice designed for drummers seeking unconventional, cutting-edge cymbal tones. This 16" top cymbal features Paiste's signature Swiss hole pattern, which eliminates airlock and produces a complex, distorted frequency response. When paired with a matching bottom cymbal, it creates an aggressive staccato stack perfect for modern metal, electronic, and experimental music genres.

The perforated surface design generates a natural flanging effect that cuts through dense mixes with a shimmering, industrial character. The thin aluminum-copper alloy construction keeps sustain extremely short, ensuring tight, controlled accents that won't cloud your groove. Depending on clutch tension and felt positioning, the cymbal ranges from a dry, trashy "chick" to a shattering, noisy wash—giving you versatile tonal control for any playing style.
