So, I currently have a set of some shitty Sabian Solar cymbals. These are very basic, entry-level cymbals. In short, they were the cheapest thing I could buy, as a beginner. Now that I've honed my skills somewhat (yeah, I said honed), I'm looking to improve the quality of my cymbals. This is where your normally inconsequential ass can make a difference!

If there are any drummers out there that can suggest some cymbals for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Quality and cost are both equally important to me, so if you can suggest a good product for a good price, that would be great.

If you want me to get into the equipment I already have, just ask, I guess.

Thanks in advance.

what's that one brand, like Zaidjan or something like that
Zildjian - they are some of the top quality cymbols out there

Just remember getting three to four basic cymbols (crash/ride/splash) will generally >$300, so be prepared to put some money down

you could probably get used ones off ebay or something, but be very ready to send it back, because if they are dented sound quality goes way down lol

Nope, I'm a guitarist, but I do have some drums and play them occasionally for rhythm and for fun

yeah ziljan (however you spell it) are what i would go for.  What kind really depends on what kind of music you play and how hard you play.  also the cheaper you go (especially if you play hard) the less time they will last. I saw my drummer buddy go through quite a few cheaper one's before he finally could afford a good set.  I would recomend at least a set of hi-hats, a ride and 2 crashes at the least.  Since the crashes take the most abuse it's nice to have a couple to spread the beatings on.  things like splashes and chinas are a matter of preference and music style and can be added later when funds are available.
