Classic-inspired makeover in a box
Sweetwater drummers love our modern cymbals. But for players who want something more vintage flavored, the Paiste Giant Beat series is a splendid option.

Not just for classic players

Sweetwater drummers highly recommend the Giant Beat cymbal pack for classic country, raucous rock 'n' roll, and all shades of blues and soul in between.
Instant Bonzo inspiration
There are drummers who claim you can't authentically appropriate the pre-Houses of the Holy Bonham drum sound without 1) a particular-vintage acrylic drum kit and 2) a set of original white-label Giant Beats from the '60s. But for those of us without unlimited time and resources to troll for cymbals online, the Paiste Giant Beat cymbal pack does a great job of appropriating the classic Bonzo warmth and soul.
