Used, used, used, used.
The only way to go if you are regrouping and buying on budget.
Go to ebay and get the following: (Here we go again, regular readers!)
-Ride: 20" Zildjian A Medium Ride or Ping Ride ($90 - 125)
-Crash: 18" Zildjian A Medium, Medium/Thin, or Thin ($70 - 90)
-HiHats: 14" Zildjian A New Beats, Quick Beats, or Mastersound ($90 - 140/set)
Why these?
-They are plentiful
-They are underpriced
-They will work with the music you are going to play
-You can get your money back when you sell
-The dirtier they are the cheaper they are - will clean up like new with BarKeepers Friend (don't doubt me on this!)
-Best of all, they sound
great
Once you play the As for a while, you will come across cymbals you like better. Sell the As for exactly what you paid for them and step up. Or, find out what great cymbals they are, keep them, and add to the family.
