really i think its all about the style(s) you play, ambition, and personal preference. I own about ten cymbals (2 hi-hats, 3 crashes, 2 splashes, a crash ride and a china). I usually find myself playing rock, and the cymbal setup works for me. sometimes i feel like scaling down my setup and using only about 5 or 6 cymbals, and sometimes i wish i had another cymbal or two. but i donno, i guess its all about what you feel and how much $$ you've got
