Love all my Bionics 14 hats, 17, 18 crashes, 21 ride and my 19" Zildjian Thrash Ride always sounds great too.
Here are mine, all Sabian:
18" SR2 Thin (great low crash, good ride)
16" AA Thin Crash
19" SR2 Heavy (good ride)
14' Hats (SR2 Medium top, XS20 bottom)
Peace and goodwill.

I have more than 5 but they are all in the same family.
I picked up a matched set of Paiste Signature Series cymbals and ended up buying the complete setup. 8/10" Splashes. 14" hats. 16, 17, 18, 20, Crashes and 22 Ride.
The sound is so focused and bright yet smooth with no tinny bite. Awesome cymbals, sound and visually.

If I could only own one setup of cymbals, this would cover pretty much all my needs:
15" Z3 Hi-Hats
22" K Constantinople
18" A Custom Fast Crash
20" Oriental Crash of Doom
16" Oriental China Trash
The 2 crashes are legitimately "my sound," the hats are my favorite set of hats I own, the china is my personal favorite china, and the ride (although I can't afford one) is my favorite ride that I've played (I have to get by with other stuff in its place)
The only two constants I have are DW and Zildjian.
No1 Paiste 2002 Medium Hats (they can just fit anywhere
No2 Paiste 21 inch signature heavy dry ride (played one for years great ping cuts through just right )
No3 sabian 19 inch Signature Carmen Appice Devastation Chinese Cymbal . (trash cut explosive just loved it )
No4 paiste 2002 18 medium crash (never our of place can work everywhere )
No5 13inch 602 heavy Bell... give it a smack and go on hollidays .. will still be ringing when you get back hahaha
