A very classic hi-hat for multi-purpose application in different musical genres.
The Paiste Giant Beat Hi-Hats deliver a mellow, warm, yet brilliant sound with a hissing shimmer. They have a medium range and fairly clean mix. Other sound characteristics are light, woody, and open, paired with a well defined, soft chick-sound.

Comments about Paiste Giant Beat Hi-Hats:
These Hats are excellent! They have a nice feel and great volume. The 15" size is great, they can sound loose and trashy with a nice sizzle. If you close them up they make a nice "chick" sound that cuts the mix in live situations. I think for the price these are well worth the investment, this is a sound I will never get tired of. Paiste is the best!
Comments about Paiste Giant Beat Hi-Hats:
I've owned these cymbals (the 15") for a few months, and I'm already convinced that these are the only hats I'll ever need. I had already heard them in everything from Led Zeppelin to Death Cab For Cutie, and I wanted to try them for myself.They have a very pronounced, clear sound to them, but at the same time, they can sound loose and trashy if needed. They're very versitile. I absolutley love them, and the size makes them really loud and pwerful as well. I would recomend these for every genre out there. Paiste never fails.
