PAISTE PST 7 Versus GIANT BEAT AND 505 ** CYMBAL COMPARISON

Comparison of a brand-new 20" Paiste PST 7 LIGHT RIDE with a classic 20" 505 CRASH as well both a reissue and an original 20" GIANT BEAT MULTI.

Love the Giant Beat. Hands down the best one of the 3. I have a 19" Giant Beat Multi that i absolutely love. Love the "Lucky Man" reference.

Thanks Terry! Finally someone that can appreciate this alloy & knows that alot of the B8 cymbals out there (that ive found) sound as good if not better than some of the more expensive ones. Ive combed thru music stores & pawn shops & have found some beauties myself Bonz. Best part is when u take 1 to the owner & ask about it, they see its a B8 & quickly say "Give Me Fifty Bucks & Its Yours", cause to them theres no big profit in it & they just want it gone; OK then?! Here's the trick; "Look for Thin or Reg weight B8's, the Thinner the Better & Crispier it Will Sound", I have found some Awesome cymbals by using this method & its true, not All but alot of them are keepers & will sound decent, for a heck of alot cheaper too, & we all know how expensive drum products & accessories can cost nowadays. Btw, B8's & B12's are usually louder & can cut thru the music better, give em a Rip, I'll be checkin out your vid's Terry.

Hi Terry, your channel is overall great, and your videos always informative, yes you ramble a bit but those who bear with you on that will get always something informative and usefull out of your videos, I just bought a PST7 ride, basically basaed on your comments about the series remarking their similarities to the (for me at least) "holy grail of cymbals" the 2002's of course. Just wanted to thank you for all I've learnt from you man, rock on!

IMHO as a proud own of 80's era 505's now, the PST7's won't hold up their quality as long as the 505's have...A few people on the drum forums I've been reading equate the 404's and the 505's to the Alpha's and PST models in their pricing level and grade them accordingly. Terry has gotten me interested in obtaining 505's and I couldn't be happier. I like them SO much more than the Giant Beats and the 2002's of today. The newer ones don't have the cut and volume that these 80's cymbals STILL have 30 plus years later

Nice demo on all the cymbals, ,I like them all, ,They all sound great !!!! And I am a guy who likes thin buttery cymbals !

[CoppsMusic]

I love this guy.. I cannot watch this without laughing.. Very nice way to do cymbal comparison.

[christopherkennedy]

Years later and I'm getting some
pst 7s...( hope they're still as awesome sounding as in all the vids from years ago) 🤘💥🥁

[SanchezThrash]

Great cymbals, I've like to have them all!

[bubck]

I think the original GB is closest to the 505. All great sounding cymbals.

[johncollins]

My alpha heavy ride 20 has a big crash sound and strong bell, good rock ride from mid 90, s.

[Yellowjacket]

To be honest i like the 505 it has a nice echo at the end and but the giant beat has an amazing bell sound but thats just me

[final-new-frontier]

Weird, the Giant beat re-issue sounds more like my 20 inch Zildian I family crash/ride than the others. Isn't that original Giant Beat what Nick Mason once used?

[jeremytooktashina]

I have a set of Krut light jazz hi hats, and a 14" crash...as if there is any difference between the crash and the hats.  Been looking for a 20" Krut light ride or thin crash. Love your videos!  Just lost why this one was so short?  LOL Cheers from Canada :)

[enricos]

Hi ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !!! Here is my question: I'm going to buy 20" pst7 light ride to use it as a crash and a 18" pst 7 crash . But I can't decide between the heavy and the medium crash. Basically I want a 18" light ride, so which one would you consider to be closer to that sound ?

[raulmedina]

what do you opine about 505 20" heavy crash

[antiago]

How do you see a PST7 light ride as a crash, pairing a 2002 24 Reverend? It sounds great, I'm keeping an eye on it.

[Underdog_Drums]

You've peaked my interest in the 505 series. Yeah, it sounds great (very close to the GB, or 2002) Only thing, is the price tag might is a little inflated imo. The reissue GB, and WL are dam close

[cscamby]

Would you recommend the PST7 Ride and hi hats vs the 2002's? I'm honestly having trouble discerning the 2002's from the PST7's...especially with the full band...but I need a ride with a cutting bell and body (maybe PST7 Heavy or 2002 Power?) and I'm just looking for more versatile hats than my 13" Signature Heavy hats

[MeTuLHeD]

Giant Beat (reissue) all day long for me. Just simply smoother sounding. The PST Series has a high pitched after ring which gives it a really brassy kind of ding-ey sound. Not a big fan of that ringing.

[bonhamcymbal]

Would a modern 20" 2002 crash be the equilivent of the old 20 crash medium? Thank terry
