Review: "Paiste’s Giant Beat line is quite different than their other cymbals. The Giant Beat’s color for one thing. I thought at first they look like they have quite a bit of silver in them, at least the 18″ version that I tested, but over a few months, the silvery finish began to turn into a patina, with the more expected coppery color showing through. So, I suspect there may be a thin nickel coating. This possibly gives the cymbal a bright sound, almost bell-like, but without making you want to cover your ears. They are in the medium-thin category and vary by diameter, and are categorized as “Multi-Functional”, which means you can use them as a ride or a crash. I would classify this one primarily as a crash cymbal.
The sound has a moderately bright tonality. Perhaps that is why they call it multi-function. It has a very nice wash to it which is generally neutral.
The Giant Beat is a very nice line of cymbals. They are musical and powerful, but won’t overpower. The 18″ reviewed model would be good in a medium sized venue for jazz or rock."
