Paiste PST X DJs 45 - 12 Inch Hats

Created in collaboration with Daru Jones, the PST X DJs 45 set was designed to provide the type of fast and dry sounds that perfectly fit the world of Hip-hop & Electronica percussion. Always on the go, Daru desired a highly portable cymbal set for hip-hop sessions, DJ Jams, and other sit-ins that spontaneously present themselves, enabling him to preserve his personal sound in modern urban mobility.

The 12" DJs 45 Hats offer a distinct dry stick sound, an open sound with a muted trashy hiss and a chick that's a stupendous dry clap. The top cymbal features the characteristic PST X hole pattern. Despite their size each cymbal in the set offers ample volume and projection.
