Paiste 2002 vs PST7 Blindfold Challenge!

[@zakourmademon]

More side by sides for cymbals! Compare several different lines within brands so people know what each line offers against the other in the same sound setting. Paiste 2002 vs Rude vs Masters, Sabian HHX vs AAX vs Paragon, etc. I think that would be great for people that are trying to figure out what sound they want for their cymbal setup.

[@nairbas392]

These videos are a company’s worst nightmare. I love em

[@joeb5773]

I think it could go either way. The guy kept saying "only 100 quid more" as if to say "hey if you're undecided between the two, you should buy the nicer one because it's only a little more expensive"

[@uonadtehrrocks]

@@joeb5773 I think it was half truth half a joke

[@Andrewnutrition]

$400 vs $160 for the hats. Not bad on the PST 7s!

[@ToddTheJoker]

I have a complete set of PST7 lights and I love them...they sound amazing and are so fun to play.

[@jadeone]

pst 7 lights + regular pst 7 hats is my jam

[@davidhudson391]

An occasional jazz and early blues drummer, the PST light range are a very versatile small live session setup.

[@gmoneypower]

PST 7's are fantastic cymbals

[@ineedabassist]

same here but i patinad my ride the over tones were a little harsh imo

[@ToddTheJoker]

Do you play in a band? because those overtones are what you want to cut through loud amps@@ineedabassist

[@DemetriusConley]

PST 7 ftw, I got the 14" hats, 18 & 19" crashes & 20" ride. I'm planning on getting the pst 7 effects pack asap just to complete the cymbal setup.

[@darklight4815]

I have the pst7 hats because of so many rave reviews but those 2002s are way better sounding now that I hear them side by side.

[@rkk578]

I would love to see more comparison videos like this.

[@123agidee_2]

Pst7s are still great if you have a tight budget

[@adamalexanderray]

I looked away to play along and I picked out the 2002 the same as you guys. It’s a noticeable difference!

[@kevind.jamison6032]

It is so important to listen to reviews from those who play in your genre. WHat PST7 are they reviewing - Light, Medium or Heavy? Lights are for jazz, mediums are for Pop, RnB, Hip Hop and the Heavies are for Rock and Metal.

[@Fucklesticks]

Not really, heavy cymbals are just a marketing gimmick, they're awful

[@eddymason-pooley8837]

Love these cymbal videos, more please!!!

[@gohopdrummer]

Huge difference. One on the right sounds less "psssshh", more "ponng". I love cymbal comparisons. Be sure to use same diameter and thickness each time. It wouldn't be helpful if you were to compare, for example, an 18 inch heavy of one series with a 20 inch light of another series. I love the blindfolded tests though! Fun!

[@Mike_Webb78]

You compared a regular 2002 "regular" crash to a pst7 thin crash....that was dumb....

[@llRoBoBinHoll]

The PST7 thin sounds heavier still, though. More clanky

[@JeffreyMiddelveld]

I started off with Paiste PST7 crashes, but eventually switched to the 2002. When playing them back to back, same or different sizes, they sound nothing alike in my honest opinion. The Paiste 2002 seem to have more low-mid to hi-mid boost, almost thrashy with a brilliant top end. The PST7 sounds softer and like they have a v-curved EQ built in. Warm, no mid and silky hi. More like the shy, almost insecure little sibling of the 2002. The most difficult thing is that it's hard to tell that difference in recording. Absolutely NOT saying that the PST7 aren't any good, but they don't have the 2002 sound signature, not close. I even prefer the 2002 over my older Zildjian K crashes, because they sound more unique and huge than any other cymbals on the market.

[@michaelfarmer6877]

Love the 2002's !!!!! Most of my cymbals are the 2002 crash's and hi-hat. Ride is actually a Alpha 20" full ride. Just love the brightest of the Paiste line of cymbals.

[@emiliovignoni8182]

I have got a pst5 hi hat...there will be diference??

[@MatthewJCracker]

You should also try to compare Sabian AAX vs XSR. Same manufaturer, same alloy, both series are quite bright sounding. Different price range though.

[@matthewgonano636]

I find the xsr crashes are better

[@christopherscamby4559]

@@matthewgonano636Way better

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

Meh. the sound difference doesn't justify the price difference. I'd go for PST7

[@danznokaze]

2002 reminds me a lot of old version Alpha series

[@tommeytommey2742]

Fellas you are on to a good idea with blind side by side comparisons. The drummers version of the men in blazers; except yeah they're not bindfoled and it's soccer...hmmm... Anyways, I think you are on to something good, keep them coming!

[@Hemstrought]

2002 are simply more refined.

[@waynepollard6879]

What did you say ?

[@pyroeuropa]

No ride?:(

[@jairo4463]

Nop

[@sullysullster8217]

Good idea. Hit the cymbals next time. Did you film this with the kids sleeping in the next room over? You dont have to smash them but what was that?

[@gazzabel7040]

Tried them all and 2002 are always better

[@Robert-h6r7g]

We didn't hear the pst7..guys...crash...

[@tevorlong9581]

2002!

[@TempoDrift1480]

No.

[@NEALBABBITT]

So what's your point? LOL😂😂😂

[@peterlarsen8242]

More cymbal, less babble

[@jakubskyba2375]

Horrible, they just talk and talk and talk and I can hear just them not the cymbals

[@michaelbennett3783]

First

[@vicopadspercusionistaversatil]

Paiste Alpha is better than PST7 and maybe PST8...

[@jairo4463]

Maybe

[@danielpap-km8qh]

It is .. Apart is Handhammering - the fine Tune .. with Alphas .. Medium as well .. BUT -- The Black 2002 .. are simply better ..Fine overtones .. Velvet .. Full Handcraft - Hammering ...

[@TheMrCruzExperience]

I have a mixture of both and have been playing professionally for years and will swear by the PST’s because I just love the feel and sound the PST’s have. 🤌🏽 to me the PST has a washier feel to it and the 2002s have a stiffer flexibility. IMO.
