Paiste 14" Giant Beat Hi-Hats

The Paiste 14" Giant Beat Hi-Hats are a revival of one of the most iconic cymbal lines in history, first introduced in 1967 and cherished by drummers of the classic rock era. Known for their warm, shimmering character, Giant Beat cymbals have been used by legends such as John Bonham, defining the sound of an entire generation of music.

These 14" hi-hats offer a warm, airy, and slightly trashy sound with excellent responsiveness. They deliver a shimmering open tone and a smooth, controlled chick when closed, making them highly versatile for rock, pop, blues, and beyond. Crafted from Paiste’s CuSn8 bronze (2002 bronze), they carry the rich, musical character that made the Giant Beat series legendary.
