I'm with mind_drummer, in my opinion the best cymbals are currently coming out of Turkey. Istanbul Agops are seriously beautiful, my top recommendation being the trad dark crashes. Mehmets are lovely too, and Bosphorus are just amazing. You don't need to shell out masses of cash to get great sounds. Generally speaking I'd take Istanbul over Zildjian any day. (with a few exceptions, you get the idea though.)
Have you checked out
