Paiste GIANT BEAT Cymbal COMPARISON * ORIGINAL vs. REISSUE

[silo515]

nothing beats "the shimmer" of Paistes! other cymbals shimmer too, but any paiste player knows what "THE shimmer" is.

Going off of the sound of the video, its clear that the originals have better wash, and the sustain has a more pleasant sound to it....like the hair cut, terry haha

[kenromito]

Great vid! I could just see the dudes on Pawn Stars calling this guy in to appraise some Paiste's

[gordeee1]

Haha awesome videos

very knowledgeable, you know your cymbals my freind

keep the videos coming love listening to them, don't mind the rambeling =P

Dude, I noticed that Silver/RED/Silver sparkle ludwig kit in the back. What year is that? I have the 1967 Ludwig Keystone Silver/BLUE/Silver sparkle kit 13"/16"/18"/24 bass drum.

@kengolfnut The 13" is a 1970.. Someone parted out a 13 and 16FT from a kit but I won only the 13. I put it with a 22 1967 silver sparkle, and a 16 1970 red sparkle FT..

Your kit sounds great-got any pics of it?

[kengolfnut]

@bonzoleum Yeah I do. Just sent a couple to your email on your webpage. Thanks for the videos bro.

If Paiste came out with 15" Sound Edge GB's I'd be all over that.

[gregoir]

I know I'm getting off-topic a bit, they have a new line that resemble old alphas to me, it could be a reissue of the 802, they call it pst 8, do you have any info on those? O'm sure they will have more demos once NAMM is over. I'm truely excited for this year, a lot of great stuff coming out

[bonzoleum]

@CaptainZombeh Yes it's the PST8 (thanks to Christian for telling me about them).

I think they fill the 802 'void' Paste feels exists ..Paiste seems to be getting around to using the tight lathing on more cymbal lines, instead of just on the GBs and the Reflector types offered in different lines over the years..I believe the PST8 have the big hammering from older lines (200 400 some Reflectors, some Sound Creations, etc..) and they are 'Reflector' type.

I bought the first 22" prototype that was available on ebay btw. It is an amazing cymbal, one of my favourites for sure, but I still love the 24", probably just a little bit more. I'd love to see a pair of 13" heavier giant beat hats. I just think they would be cool, they would be tighter for more stewart copelandish stuff, but would also sound good when played slightly open, which in my opinion is where 13's generally fall down

[bonzoleum]

@sticksbangskins I agree about the GB13" hats. (I'm just not a big fan of 13" Sound Edge hats).

[sticksbangskins]

@bonzoleum I've almost given up on finding the perfect pair of 13" hats, they just don't cut at the end of the day, too bad I love the chick sound so much. I have a pair of 2002 13" Sound Edge hats that are pretty cool, I got for like $160. I'm just hoping they expand the 602's, but they haven't so far so I'm not holding out for it.

[2394locke]

@sticksbangskins Paiste will custom make a set of 13" hi-hats for you!

[sticksbangskins]

I LOVE you Terry. Thank you so much, I feel like I need to give you something in return for posting this video, and all your other videos. Just keep doing what you're doing, you are AWESOME!!

[bonzoleum]

@sticksbangskins You can send me a suitcase of full of hundreds and a busload of 20 year old busty cheerleaders with oral fixations!! ,... Is that in bad taste?

Thanks for the nice words, I'm glad you enjoy the video. I'm trying to get more original GBs from my friend to use in the videos but I'm having trouble locating him.

[sticksbangskins]

@bonzoleum I could make a joke about hammering nipples or white inking, but I'll keep the comments on this video clean. Honestly this video is great by itself, and I feel happier now about the reissue GB's. I always loved them, but was wondering how much better (if at all) the originals were. From my nerdy, sad and pathetic searching I can say I like the reissue's better.

[angelacevedo2112]

great bells on both of em . i wish i had a set of giant beats . for my ludwig kit. do they make swish knocker giant beats iam not a big china cymbal guy but i think it would be cool since they made such heavy rude chinas paistes

[bonzoleum]

@angelacevedo2112 The GB line is currently just the 24, 18, 20 and 14 and 15 hats..They wanted to be loyal to the original offering, but I think now they can/should expand the line.
