Question:I needa kno what kinda cymbals are best (splash,crash,and hi hat) and what sizes are best


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I needa kno what kinda cymbals are best (splash,crash,and hi hat) and what sizes are best

Avedis Zildjian cymbals come in several series, The A series being the Top of the Line. the A Zildjian cymbals are the best on the market.

The Z Zildjians are not nearly the quality of the A Zildjians.

14" A Zildjian New Beat High Hats
16" A Zildjian medium crash
20" A Zildjian medium heavy ride
Splash cymbal isn't that useful, but if you really want one 12" A Zildjian splash.

If you can't afford Zildjian A, Don't settle for the Z series, the Sabian B8 pro series is the second best choice

The best cymbals are no longer made. Avedis Zildjian genuine Turkish cymbal hand hammered in Istanbul Turkey. The Zildjians today still say genuine Turkish cymbal, but now they're machine pressed in USA.

Edit: My personal opinion of Paiste cymbals, is that they sound like a garbage can lid.

6' hi hat and a 20' crash with stand for a drum kit.

I reccommend this :)

I personally love Paiste 2002s. I use to own them so I know. They are expensive, but worth it if you can afford it.
Plus they have smaller Cymabls packs too.
Sizes are personal thing for drummers. Every drummer has different sizes so I really dont recommend any set size for drummers. I leave that choice up the drummer themselves to decide.
