A word about Bonham's use of Giant beats (and 2002's) throughout his career:
Since he was by far the most famous user of both of these lines of cymbals, it's important to understand when and where he used them and on what albums and tours:
It is believed that when Zeppelin went on tour in the U.S. opening for Vanilla fudge (Dec 1968 through early 1969), Carmine Appice introduced him to and possibly loaned him a set of Giant beats (Carmine also helped him get a Ludwig endorsement which could've led to his 1st. use of Paiste's considering Ludwig was the U.S. distributor!).
It is generally agreed that Bonham started using Giant beats full time in Feb. of 1970 (previously, throughout 1969 he was using a set of 602's possibly mixed with Carmine's Giant beats or a set from Ludwig).
Photos show that Bonham was using 15" 602 sound edges very early in 1970, he may have switched back and fourth between Giant beats and 602's, but it looks and sounds like the 602 sound edges were his main hi-hats until the U.S. tour in May of 1973 (then 2002's).
Album/tour usage*:
Led Zeppelin II: Possibly all 602's or a mix of both, this album was recorded while on tour in the U.S in 1969, he could’ve used Carmine's Giant beats that were loaned to him or a set from Ludwig.
Led Zeppelin III (and tour): 18", 20", 24" Giant beats, 15" 602 sound edges
Led Zeppelin IV (and tour): 18", 20", 24", Giant beats 15" 602 sound edges (yes, "Rock and roll" was recorded with 602 sound edges!)
Houses of the Holy: 18", 20", 24", Giant beats 15" 602 sound edges (early part of the 1973 tour shows him using a 16" 2002 on his far left)
The Song remains the same (May 1973 U.S. tour): 18", 20", 15" sound edges, (all 2002's), 24" Giant beat
Physical Graffiti (and tour): 18", 20", 15" sound edges, (all 2002's), 24" Giant beat
(important note: half the songs on Physical Graffiti were leftovers from the three previous albums, you can compare the differences in cymbals by listening to some songs back to back e.g: "night flight" vs. "in the light")
Presence: 16", 18", 24" , 15" sound edges, (all 2002's)
In through the out door: 16", 18", 24" , 15" sound edges, (all 2002's)
As you can see, on half of the Zeppelin albums he used Giant beats and continued to use his 24" on Physical Graffiti and the subsequent tour in 1975.
It wasn't until the last two albums that he used all 2002's with a 20" 602 thrown in for good measure!
