Frequently Asked Questions

Giant Beat sits below Signature and Twenty in terms of refinement and complexity; it offers excellent value and a more approachable sound.
The Regular finish is durable, but it will show marks from sticks and require more frequent cleaning than some brighter, lacquered finishes.
While versatile, it’s not the most aggressive crash; a darker, more explosive cymbal might be preferable for intensely heavy music.
