Alright, right now I have some Sabian Solars (hats, crash and ride) but its time to upgrade.

I need something awesome, but cheap and with at least 4 pieces. Anything you guys can tell me that will help?

Go to a local shop that will let you test out different cymbals.
Stick with the prepackaged sets and you will save money.
Only you know what sound you are looking for... you gotta get in a store
and test em out.

cool. yeah ive noticed that the packages definitely save coin. Do you know anything about mixing cymbals? Like different sets and brands... I dont know much about that area.

In my 20+ years drumming I don't think I ever just had one brand on my kit. I look at each cymbal as it's own piece. If I like the sound I buy it. You and I could play on the same cymbal and it would sound different.
