The Paiste Giant Beat 15" Hi-Hat Cymbal is a 15" hi-hat cymbal, made from CuSn8 bronze, that is hand hammered, with a vintage rock sound, and vintage finish. These venerable cymbals - developed during the 1960’s rapid expansion of popular music - were faithfully recreated and re-launched by Paiste in 2005.
Giant Beat cymbals offer the big, warm, brilliant vintage sound that takes you straight back to the roots of Rock. This hi-hat cymbal has a mellow, warm, yet brilliant sound with a hissing shimmer and medium range and fairly clean mix. Offering a warm, light and woody open sound, paired with a well defined, soft chick-sound, this is a very classic hi-hat for multi-purpose application in different musical genres.
