Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal 18"

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

The Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Top Cymbal delivers a distinctive "lo-fi" character perfect for drummers seeking unconventional cymbal textures. This 18" top cymbal features Paiste's signature Swiss hole pattern, which eliminates airlock and produces a complex, distorted frequency response. When paired with a bottom cymbal, it creates an aggressive staccato stack ideal for modern metal, electronic, and experimental music genres.

The perforated design generates a natural flanging effect with shimmering vibrations that cut through dense mixes. The thin construction and short, controlled decay provide surgical accents without sustain, keeping your groove tight and defined. Adjust your clutch tension to dial in anything from a dry, trashy "chick" to a shattering, noisy wash—making this cymbal incredibly versatile for players who demand unconventional sounds.
