I've recently been looking into buying some of these. Has anybody here played them and/or heard good things?

Not for playing hard? I think Bonham used them at some point

If you go and pick up the new Modern Dummer festival DVD the drummer from death cab for cutie uses them i really want that 24" ride, it sounds sweet!

I have....
24" Paiste 2002 ride
20" Paiste 2002 crash medium(use it as a ride as well)
19" Paiste 2002 crash medium
16" Paiste 2002 crash medium
15" Paiste 2002 soundedge hi-hats

and I'll tell you what..I've never received so many compliments on how my cymbals sound for live and recording. They cut through anything the rhythm guitarist wants to throw at me.I really dig the ride because there is so much playing room and you can get alot of different sounds moving around the cymbal...and the bell really makes a statement when used.Giant Beats look cool as hell and sound pretty similar to the 2002's.The hi-hats don't have the ruffled/wavy bottom cymbal as the soundedge which I think really choke the sound when closed.But holyshit...when you open those bad boys during play,its balls to the wall bro!! And people will know you mean business!!

my drum shop has all of em in... hes literally giving awway the ride for £200

I played a 24" giant Beat Ride at a Sam Ash today and it was fantastic!! That same sound you hear on Led Zeppelin II!!!!

They want $375 for it.

If I was doing a classic rock gig or a Zepp tribute band, I would go with that ride.
