which cymbals are better?

[drumtilidie]

Which are better:

- Sabian B8's
- Zildjian ZBT's
- Paiste PST's

Also, while I'm at it, I'm trying to decide which acoustic set to buy. Keep in mind that I'm still going to have to do most of my practicing on my electronic set, but I will use the acoustics when I can. It was recommended that Yamaha Rydeens would be a good choice for me earlier, but I'm just curious if it would make a huge difference in sound quality to get these:

I'm really tight for money at the moment, so the $200 difference is quite large. The second floor tom is a bonus too. Should I bother?

[FockerTheLopper]

Unless you have nothing else(litterally nothing like nothing to hit) don't get anything. Save up and buy pro cymbals you like best. It'll save you about $300 in the long run.

nothin to hit, man, I've been playing on an electronic kit for two straight years (due to sound issues) and am about to try acoustics again. I got nothin.

Well if you already have an electronic kit just save up and buy pro level cymbals, AA's are great and fairly priced. Also go to www.cymbalsonly.com they're getting rid of they're agops so they're priced fairly well

fairly priced, but still too expensive for me...I know that starter cymbals aren't that great, and that I'm supposedly going to want to replace them within 6 months, but I'm not too bent on top quality here, I just want to play an acoustic set!

[pitchfork]

Wuhans, duh :rolleyes:

[amnestyslowend]

get that gretsch thats 100% better than a yamaha! And go with Zildjian or Paiste! B8's are trash! I have never tried wuhans but i hear there great!

[ringworm]

Yeah, check out Wuhans, but to answer your ?, DONT get ZBT's!
It would be a toss up for me between B8's or PST's. B8's are good beginner or low priced cymbals. There is a certain line with the PST's that are really good but I cant remember if it's 3's or 5's. Someone else might know that.

[Inpropagation]

PST5's out of those.

[AmodestBeginning]

go for wuhans if possible, but paiste pst5's are the best

[pitchfork]

No wuhans are better than PST5's *waits for thugs to come and kill me*

[fastlane]

dont get ZBT's like said above. im not much of a sabian fan. idk why but i would go paiste. believe me im no cymbal expert lol but that is just me. but as said before id save my money and bye higher end cymbals.

[White]

Unless you have nothing else(litterally nothing like nothing to hit)

Even then buy only Pro Cymbals lol, I had absolutly nothing when i first got my new set (NOT EVEN A SNARE!) and I SLOWLY bought all my gear professionally, and I am almost To the point of having a good Kit (just need actual cymbal stands and new Ride and Crash) and I will ahe a pro Kit, can't wait

[pitchfork]

So you have your hats now white?
I thought you already had a decent ride

[Grumma]

*without reading posts*

AAX-plooooooosion

[Gawn]

Anything is better than B8. It WILL crack. Every drummer I've ever met has got at least one cracked B8 lying around. You will actually save yourself more money in the long run by buying good cymbals. But if you want to go cheap, then I would go with Wuhans. They are so cheap it doesn't matter if you crack it or not.

[joe_04_04]

go with the sabians or paistes...zildjian can suck majorly..but if you can hold out go for some aas or aaxs

what he said wuhans am the sex

[Kuplgalvis]

I would save up and buy pro cymbals, but if pro then not paiste, cause sabian and zildjian are much more brighter,but if you buy just to have some cymbals, then from cheap cymbals paiste are the best!!!
Do as you want, cause I am not an expert on cymbals, i just try to help with my advice!

[crazyguy832]

My 18" B8 crash/ride is at least 10 years old and still going strong.

:chug:

[goalieman92]

I got a B8 crash/ride and it is one of the best sounding bigginer ride I have heard. For pro cymbals look at the sabian AAX dry ride, AAX studio hats, and AAX dark Crashes, That is just my ideal setup atleast.

[Sabian4015]

Get Sabain Xs20's gosh darn it! Nobody ever says anything about these cymbals , and they're really good and very underrated. I got a pack of hats, crash, and ride at my local GC for 220 USD. The hats and ride are very good, the crash is decent but not the best.
