This month's Product Spotlight features our =
re-introduction
of the legendary Giant Beat cymbals.=A0
Originally launched in the =
late
60's as the forerunner of the historical 2002 series, the Giant =
Beats
were established as the =
world was
experiencing a rapid growth of Rock music, music that =
convincingly emerged from =
the
fundamentals of Blues, Folk, Country and =
Rock'n'Roll.
Sonically, the Giant Beats =
are
not as cutting or aggressive as the 2002 and they are rather thin =
cymbals with a significant =
amount
of depth and warmth, combined with a dark, sparkling yet glassy
shimmer. As soon as you =
strike
one of these beauties, you'll immediately understand why John =
Bonham and Nick Mason =
played
these beautiful sounding cymbals in the early 70's. And although =
these cymbals were =
introduced
during the expansion of rock music, Giant Beats are also a very fine =
choice for Jazz =
drummers.=A0=A0 =A0
The Giant Beats can be =
heard by a
number of today's bands like "Mando Diao" (Paiste artist =
Samuel
Giers), "Kings of =
Leon"
(Paiste artist Nathan Followill), and "Death Cab for Cutie" =
(Paiste
artist Jason
=
McGerr).
