Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal 12"

Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Cymbal Stack: The "Trash-Hat" Specialist

The Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack is a curated pair of perforated cymbals designed to be played together as a "lo-fi" secondary hi-hat or an aggressive staccato stack. By utilizing Paiste’s signature "Swiss" hole patterns, this pair eliminates airlock and introduces a complex, distorted frequency response. It is the ultimate tool for drummers who need a crunchy, "industrial" voice that sits between a traditional hi-hat and a white-noise effect.

This is the top cymbal only - not a stack pair.

• Variable "Crunch": Depending on how tightly you tighten your clutch or felt, the response ranges from a dry, trashy "chick" to a shattering, noisy wash.
• Flanging Effect: The interaction between the perforated surfaces creates a unique, shimmering vibration—a natural "flange" that cuts through modern electronic and metal mixes.
• Short, Controlled Decay: Because the two cymbals vibrate against each other, the sustain is naturally choked, providing surgical, staccato accents that won't muddy your groove.
