Get Big, Vintage Sound with the Paiste Giant Beat Cymbal Series

These venerable cymbals - developed during the 1960's rapid expansion of popular music - were faithfully recreated and re-launched by Paiste in 2005. Giant Beat cymbals offer the big, warm, brilliant vintage sound that takes you straight back to the roots of Rock.

Giant Beat Sound

Bright and warm with a multilayered, full, dark, glassily splendid presence and a wonderfully loose, lively and big feel.

Hi-Hat Sound Character

Mellow, warm, yet brilliant with a hissing shimmer. Medium range and fairly clean mix. Warm, light and woody open sound, paired with a well defined, soft chick-sound. A very classic hi-hat for multi-purpose application in different musical genres.
