Paiste Accent Cymbals

[tilinmyowngrave]

Checking online, I saw two different Paiste accent cymbals. One was pc, and one was pr. The pc one was cheaper. What do these letters mean?

Look at the accent cymbals on this website.

I think its PC is by each peice (just one), and PR is by the pair.

I have the 4" and 8" accents. The 4" I use like a crotale, and the pair of 8" I use as a mini hi hat. (had to drill holes in the bottom one for air lock)

I have the entire set as well as the Cup chimes.

They all kind of sound like a phone ringing when you really hit them in the contect of a song. I love them for "light" texture work, but man can they get obnoxious!

I built a rack to hold them all using some "all thread" (it's like a 48" piece of machine screw threaded metal) and I used a dremel to cut that up into pieces which I mounted into a square piece of galvinized metal tubing, then I use a Pearl AXL-25 Clap to mount it by my Hi-Hat.


I would say look on E-bay. I picked them up for as little as $10 on E-bay - that's how I wound up with all of them.
