I'll never forget the first session that I used my Paiste Giant Beats! I sat down at my kit and started to play...then stopped and smiled! I was truly amazed at what I heard and how they felt to the stick.The tracking engineer actually came out and commented with several expletives that I can't repeat, on how microphone friendly and rich my cymbals sounded. They are big, silky smooth, warm and yet focused!! The 24" Ride is never overbearing and it makes a great huge crash. I flew to England and used them live!! Oh my gosh! I have a copious amount of cymbals to choose from... I use my Giant Beats more than any other set-up. No lie! |
