Those videos are entertaining but the sound is too compressed to really hear the differences.
Yes, that video is definitely compressed... but, so is virtually ALL recorded popular music these days.
Compression or not, you can clearly hear the differences in the video if you listen.
True, there's a newer video on YT with some older dude that includes the PST 7's and less compression.
Paistes site has great samples that truely represents the sound of their cymbals, amazing how consistent their stuff is and captured so well.
Btw, I just picked up a 22" Big Beat 2002 for $100 off the going price. Cant wait for it to arrive!
I know myself and I'm going to want the pro grade Paiste's sooner than later. Better start saving now
I was getting bad Paiste GAS but finally got happy with my Zildjian's again-till the Hi Hat comparison and those Dark Energy hats appeared. Now the "Dark" side of the force is echoing Paiste, Paiste, Paiste............

Do a search for Paiste pst 7 19" vs Giant Beat 18" on youtube, you'll be surprised how good the Pst 7's are !I decided to put them ALL up for giggles today. I never play with this many cymbals though having done so I can understand why you would want to.
Also, I noticed something interesting. I put the 17 and 18 inch together on one side and the 19 and 20 inch together on the other side. One those occasions where I would hit say, the 17 inch then go back to it moments later, I struck the 18 inch instead and got a very similar but slightly different tone on that second hit. It was a really neat effect and it worked for the 19 and 20 inch too. It was more musical, essentially. I think I'm going to stick with that for a while.
Anyway, I'm really liking these Paistes. If their midrange stuff sounds this good I can only imagine how good the top of the line stuff sounds.

And they look beautiful, like the rest of your set.
Thanks! It was unintentional but theguy, but bronze and red cymbals go nicely with the gold and red finish of the drums. It's neat having a little forest of cymbals to choose from ?
I'll check out that comparison video. I've seen a few PST7 reviews where they get some really great sounds from them. Rob Brown's video and Xavi Reija's videos come to mind.
