Honestly, just save your money and buy decent cymbals one at a time. it kinda sucks for a little while but you'll be much happier in the long run.

I got a starter box of ZBT cymbals when I got back into drumming six years or so ago. I figured it was a name brand so it had to sound good. (There were no starter level cymbals I knew of the last time I was drumming.) Wrong! I sold them
as soon as I started playing with other musicians because the sound embarassed me. Get higher end cymbals for good sound.
