24" Big Beat Crash/Ride

Top off your kit with the Paiste Big Beat sound. This Paiste 2002 Big Beat Crash/Ride cymbal delivers a deep, warm, complex, and vibrant sonic character that works brilliantly across genres. The sensitive and responsive Big Beat feel is ideal for any drummer: professional, novice, or in between. The beautiful bell sound of this cymbal joins with a lush, warm crash with quick fade and nicely defined ping to give you a cymbal that works great in most settings for both crash and ride duties.

Paiste - a tradition of innovation

Headquartered in Switzerland, Paiste meets the creative needs of drummers and percussionists with innovative cymbals, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments. Founded at the beginning of the twentieth century, Paiste lays claim to a number of cymbal firsts, including the first use of 8% bronze, the wavy-edged hi-hat bottom cymbal, the bell-less flat ride, unlathed hammered cymbals, color-coated cymbals, China cymbals with a downturned edge, and the invention of their signature bronze alloy. World-class drummers such as Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, and Vinnie Colaiuta - and many of the drummers here at Sweetwater - rely on Paiste cymbals to forge their signature sounds, and you can, too!

Rated 5/5

A work of art

As a 24 it's beautiful sounding I bought mine about a year ago and it is one of my favorites from my arsenal, bell sounds great , lathed thin enough there's no unwanted noise that builds up when 24s are to thick , nothing negative to say about it at all, Eric at sweetwater was professional yet friendly ,which is what I love about sweetwater you just don't get that when dealing with others , thank you !
Music background: I just love to play
Rated 5/5

They mean BIG in big beats

This cymbal is big and that's what I thought it was going to be.when you crash it multiple times in a row, you feel like you just had a workout 5/5 I would get

Nolan Dye

This is my go to ride cymbal. It has so much character and body to it. You can get nice stick definition out of it and it also washes very well if you want to use it as a boomy crash/ride. No matter what gig I'm playing, I will always bring my Big Beat with me
