I play stoner rock and like big cymbals. Also it just so happens that crash on my rides pretty regularly, so previously I would either use larger crashes for this purpose or would sacrifice crashability by using bigger rides. Now I have the best of both worlds.
Pros: Everything I have read in reviews when researching this cymbal is true - buttery feel; wonderful crashability when used as a crash; does not get overpowering no matter how I hit it; fairly defined ping when used as a ride.
Cons: Well, if I had to nitpick - the bell is lacking.
My favorite piece of kit in a long, long while. Now just to see how it stands the test of time and my heavy hitting... but hey, it's Paiste - should hold up.

Warm, cutting, dark and bright!

I have been searching for my perfect ride for years. I love the tone and warmth of the Paiste Giant Beat 24" but it doesn't quite have enough bite to cut through more intense situations for me.
The new 24" Big Beat is perfect! It has the warmth of the Giant Beat and the 'crashability' (even at low volumes), but it cuts through when needed.
Lovely cymbal.
