wuhan,they are cheaper and sound better
musicians friend even has the pack for you

[ofDooM]

you should buy pro cymbals one by one. its much better than buying a pack.

[fastlane]

what is wrong with buying a pack that has pro cymbals in it? :P can save you a little bit of money too.

[ofDooM]

well for one thing, those are entry level.

[pitchfork]

Get a paiste 2002 set (pro level) or go wuhans.

oh okay i guess ill buy the cymbals one by one, but is their anything that you would especiially reccomend?

[Icky_Mettle]

Yes...buying used will be cheaper. It's much better to buy used pro-levels than the less expensive but new entry levels...the pro-level cymbals will probably never have problems unless they've been used for a VERY long time. What cymbal sound are you looking for, bright or dark?

[innerlo2]

OR go to the store and hand pick each cymbal you want based on sound.

Used cymbals can be a blessing or a curse. Sadly you never know what the person before you did to them. They might be perfect, or they might have cracks that arent yet visable.


I would definatly wonder what you were using that is already cracked though before I recommended anything to you.

i had Zildjian Planet Z Crash 16". they were my cousins so they were at least 5 years old or something liek that

[Zildjian]

those are decent beginner cymbals..No long term cymbals though

[The Ska Man]

Those PST5 aren't half bad. I'd get the universal PST5 pack.

[AmodestBeginning]

alright, but now my mind is changed, i think ill start out by buying individual cymbals

[poppinfresh]

get some lessons first so you dont crack your new cymbals.

[ant_182]

If you're buying pro first you need to plan out what you want to get and also what cymbals you need first. What do you need first? I suggest looking into the A Custom Range, what music do you play?

[AmodestBeginning]

so far, im looking for a new hi-hat cuz mines all rusty and sounds brittle, and im looking for a crash of anykind first.

[ant_182]

14" A Custom Mastersounds?.....I would!

Crash erm, what's you main music style?

[goalieman92]

I like the sabian AAX's take a look at them, they got clips up on the sabian website.

[ofDooM]

pAisTe Sound Edge

[motleydrummer]

id defiantly check out some a customs and regular a's i orignally wnated wither a customs or aax's and went to the store to test and found i liked regular a mastersounds, just grab a bunch and play learn what u like better and what will sound better with ur music/set.

[AmodestBeginning]

ok guys, thanks alot:thumb:

[styler]

if your just gonna buy crap again, might as well stick with the cracked cymbals. then you can work on your technique and not have to buy crap for a third time.
