the trouble with Paiste PST5 Medium Crash

  • 1sthast

    either spit and make a bell, or arc off the cracked piece and use as a practice pot

    How will the splash sound if you play an even circle?

    Or is it big?

  • amdm

    as a splash will not sound, alas, tk. the plate is thick and on a small diameter it will turn out to be undershot. Options 2: make the crash as large as possible, or, as already said, bell, it will sound good. I did it myself - I know for sure)

  • 1sthast

    to sound like a splash, you need to not only cut exactly, but also grind through the thickness. Otherwise, there will be a piece of the pan.

    And in order to make a bell, you need to cut off the bell.

    thanks, I will do it !!!

    I had a bell out of 20 rides ..... he didn’t play for a long time! but this is the most true - Bell. Then, as it cracks, make a floor lamp out of it

  • 1sthast

    I have a Bell of 16 "crack ZBT. Has been living well for a long time)

    Another off-topic question, where can I get soft crap for the plate fasteners? (as they are called there)

  • pavel_drumsss

    Are you in favor of the felt pads?

    Sold in music stores.

    Or you can cut it yourself from felt.

    How many inches? 16?

    From myself, I can recommend: cut out the cracks before branching, drill 2 diverging ones at the end and put them on the tea-house, getting a stack like this.

    I have some freaks, without my knowledge, cracked my 16 "pst3 crash a couple of years ago, so I put it on 18 tea and use it like a stack until now. The crack does not go further, on the contrary, there is an excellent crack for air outlet.

    More expensive, but the best solution for a cracked plate

    It is undesirable to cut off the bell - the edges of the cymbal are not thin enough to produce normal tones and normal volume. Therefore, it may be necessary to further hone or somehow change the structure, otherwise it will not be a splash, but just a pan, into which no matter how much you beat it, it will not sound normally.
