Designed by Metal Drummer Aquiles Priester

The inky-finished Paiste 2002 Giga Bell Ride, branded the PsychOctopus after its creator, sounds something like another famous large-belled ride. It has a dry ping and throaty bell tone that work well for metal and articulate cymbal work.

The Paiste 2002 Giga Bell is an all-around musical cymbal, and its dark wash and definition suit it to a wide range of musical styles.

Paiste Signature series cymbals are crafted using Paiste's proprietary Signature Alloy. Signature cymbals sound full and bright, with strong presence and projection. They have a crisp, focused character, and articulately respond to your stick attack. Above all, Signature series cymbals are eminently musical. Signature Precision series cymbals are made from the same Signature alloy using a streamlined manufacturing process to give you Signature sound at a more affordable price.
