Absolute Newbie - Cymbals: How many/type?
Hi All,
I am brand new to drumming, and am waiting on my first drum to be delivered, a snare drum.
While it's a long way off, I'm curious how a newbie would go about deciding about cymbals for a kit. I'm an old guy and have money available, and won't be starting with a beginner's kit...will probably end up doing something in the Drum Workshop line for drums. But what do you experts suggest as far as how many cymbals that someone like me should start with? How many, what type (hi hats, ride, crash, etc.) and what sizes? Of course, I'll start out by learning rudiments, but I would expect that I'd be leaning toward rock type drumming if I ever get any good.
So...what would all of you smart, knowledgeable guys suggest in terms of cymbals to start with? Again, I"m not planning to start with beginner stuff...as far as quality, it will be toward the pro end of the spectrum, but I'm not so much worried about brand and specific lines of cymbals, as much as how many and type. Thanks for any help
