Ive been playing the ZBT rock set for awhile now and i really like them. Theyre good for starters, because they have a really constant and clean sound. I would use them until you know what sound you like from each cymbal and you have the money to invest in more or different cymbals. If your really into Zildjian, then you should check out their website, they have a good guide to what each sheet and cast cymbal types sound like. But the best thing to do is to go to a music store and listen for the sound you like from a cymbals in your price range.

Hi all, personally I would not bother with the Zildjan cheapies, while Zildjan make good cymbals in the more professional ranges, the cheap ones are beleow par.

As mentioned before in another cymbal-thread;I adore the Paiste Alpha series.
Accidentilly I could try the the Paiste PST 5 cymbals, that is not an expensive range at all!!
You can check them out on the Musicians Friend wbsoite.
They sounded real good, not quite as good as the Alpha's but surprisingly close!!
I know, cymbal choice is real personal, but it is worth-while to investgate this line of cymbals, they also come in attractive sets, sometimes even the cymbal-bag(s) are included.

Cheers and Happy drumming

I have ZHT'S they are really sturdy and sound really good for a cheap price...if you can spare a lil more cash go for them ZBT's break easily the only reason people use them is cause they are good replacement cymbals if low on cash and good cymbals are broken...but try some ZHT

Never been a big fan of any entry level offerings from the big 3. Meinl offers both the MCS line or their new b8 line of cymbals. both seem a cut above what other entry level producks from the big 3 are out. To revisit Wuhan Their new S series is a pretty well made line of cymbals their made from hand hammered B20 brass which is far superior to the B8 offering that are out their. good luck
