Detail 01
24 inch diameter
Big and low-pitched. More wash builds under repeated strokes, and the bell sits deeper than a 20 inch ride.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch Giant Beat ride, $650. For drummers who want a large, dark ride with plenty of wash rather than a tight ping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classic rock and blues drummers wanting a broad, open ride
- Playing rides that double as a crash on the edge
- Larger kits where a 20 inch ride sounds small
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast metal or funk needing a dry, cutting ping
- Small stages and tight kit setups
- Drummers who haul gear alone and want light cases
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ride cymbal
Meant for steady time on the bow, with a bell for accents. Heavier duty than a crash.
Detail 03
Giant Beat series
Paiste's warmer, more open line, closer to a vintage voice than a modern dry ride.
Detail 04
$650 single cymbal
One ride, not a set. This is the price bracket where cymbals become a long-term purchase.
Detail 05
Large diameter, crashable character
Edge strikes give a usable crash, so some drummers run this as their only right-side cymbal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, felts or sleeve included. A 24 inch ride needs a sturdy, well-weighted stand.
- 02Measure your setup. 24 inches crowds toms and other cymbals on a compact kit.
- 03Standard cymbal bags often top out at 22 inches. Check your case size.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a 24 inch ride fit a standard cymbal bag?
Many bags stop at 22 inches. Check the bag's rating before buying, and expect to need a 24 inch case or larger.
02Is 24 inches too big for a regular five-piece kit?
It fits, but it takes up space and sits higher. If your cymbals are already close together, expect to rearrange the setup.
03Can I crash on this ride?
Yes. Large Giant Beat rides respond on the edge, so you can use it for accents as well as time.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. The cymbal is sold on its own. Use a heavy-duty straight or boom stand with a plastic sleeve and felts.
