Beautiful cymbal
rhythm 04.09.2014
Far more accomplished musicians than me have played and reviewed this cymbal over the past few years - all I can do is agree that this is a magnificent piece of bronze that inspires with its shimmering response.

Not sure how this compares to the original Giant Beats of the 70s (as I don't have one to compare) but can say it is somewhat similar to a 20" black label 2002 Medium. I understand the black labels were thinner than the red label models, as the GBs are thinner/lighter than the 2002s, so perhaps makes sense.

I'd say this GB crashes with more shimmer and wobble, and is slightly darker with less high end cut, but a similar fundamental tone. Lovely stick definition and body with pleasing wash when used as a ride, as I do in lower volume settings (i.e. not with the hard rock band :-)

Maybe worth noting that this is actually the 'multi-functional' cymbal, not designated specifically as a crash, and certainly not the thin crash as shown in the image in the item description. There is a 'thin crash' that is a separate beast - probably lovely too.

This is truly a monster cymbal. A great heavy ride and crash, very versatile. Make way for the huge washes this thing produces, it's very loud indeed. The bell is very unique and has a fine ping.

Tolles Becken!

Ich wollte eigentlich ein Crash-Ride Becken kaufen. Aber Peter hat mich überzeugt, dieses Crash-Becken zu probieren. Und inzwischen ist es aus meiner Beckenaufstellung nicht mehr wegzudenken. Ich nutze es hauptsächlich als Ride. Es hat einen superfeinen Klang, der permanent präzise bleibt und sich nicht immer weiter aufbaut. Auch die Glocke bleibt klar im Klang, jeder Anschlag ist wunderbar präzise zu hören. Und als Crash macht es fetten Betrieb, unüberhörbar :-). Ich freue mich sehr über meine Wahl, hatte bisher ausschließlich auf Zildjian gesetzt.

Ein fantastisches Crash Ride...klassischer Early 70s Rock sound...sehr vielseitig da eher dünn, gut crashbar, aber ohne allzulang nachzuwummern...und beim ride spiel dennoch eine tolle Definition...passt auch sehr gut als crashbarere Ergänzung zum 22er Paiste 2002 Ride
