This cymbal isn't for everyone. It is a multi purpose cymbal. What does that mean? Is it a crash ride? Yes. Is it a ride? Yes. Is it a crash? Yes.Technically every cymbal can be these things, but the Giant Beat does it all so well. It would sound weird in a metal band. It would sound more appropriate in a jazz group. Listen to "Dark Side of the Moon" or the first 2 Zeppelin albums. Listen to anything by CCR. These guys were all using Piaste Giant Beats.These cymbals are thin and light. Compared to the average ride cymbal which weighs about 2000 grams, the Giant Beat 20 inch weighs something like 1200 grams. That's a big difference. They dent easily. They are distorted in the mounting hole area easily with heavy playing. I'll bet you couldn't even break one of these because they are so malleable.They sound great though. Bright, shimmering. Not much ping for riding and they are very thin. Make wonderful crashes. I have the 14" hi hats. 18" and 20" multis. I love them. I could use them as my only cymbals and be happy. I think they are classic, rich and wonderful sounding. I recommend them.
