[Reissue / The legendary 60s sound reborn for the modern age: Giant Beat] The history of Paiste cymbals cannot be explained without mentioning the groundbreaking cymbal revolution that took place in the 1950s and 1960s. During the 1950s, the acoustic music era saw the so-called B20 bronze cymbal sound dominate the world. However, in the 1960s, an electric sound based on rock and roll was broadcast from Europe to the world, ushering in the dawn of the rock era. Around 1963, Paiste began development using a CuSn8 bronze alloy, and debuted their groundbreaking cymbals in 1967. This was the "Giant Beat" series, which supported the sounds of big artists that are still talked about today, and gave birth to the BONZO funk rhythm and sound of songs like "Immigrant Song" and "Good Times Bad Times," and became the roots of the "2002" series. In 2005, a sound long awaited by 1960s artists who are still active today and young musicians who continue to carry on that sound was reissued. It has a thin finish and produces a refined and delicate sound. The 19-inch size was added in 2017. It can be used as a large-diameter crash with a pleasant high-frequency resonance, or as a small-diameter crash ride with a clear, defined sound. *Image is for illustrative purposes only.
