Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom 14"

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

The Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom is a perforated cymbal engineered to deliver cutting, industrial textures when paired with its matching top. Featuring Paiste's signature Swiss hole pattern, this thin cymbal eliminates airlock and produces a complex, distorted frequency response ideal for modern metal, electronic, and experimental music. The bottom cymbal works as part of a secondary hi-hat setup or aggressive stack, offering everything from dry, trashy "chick" sounds to shattering, noisy washes depending on clutch tension and playing technique.

With naturally short sustain and controlled decay, this cymbal provides surgical staccato accents that cut through dense mixes without muddying your groove. The flanging effect created by the interaction between perforated surfaces adds a shimmering, unique vibration that sits perfectly between traditional hi-hats and white-noise effects. Built from Paiste's PST X aluminum-copper alloy, this thin-weight cymbal delivers an earthy, warm, and dry character at low to medium-loud volumes.
