The first thing you'll notice about the Paiste Giant Beat 22" ride is that Paiste doesn't call it a ride. That's right — just like the originals from the '60s, this Giant Beat wants you to make up your own mind about how and when to use it. This cymbal has the defined, polite ping you expect from a classic Paiste ride, with the warm, shimmery wash and glassy overtones that make it a true crash. This is a great option for vintage setups where maximum versatility is needed from each cymbal. If you're into cymbals that hark back to the heyday of rock 'n' roll, you owe it to yourself to check out the Paiste Giant Beat 22" "ride" cymbal.
