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.

I know that is only four cymbals, but that is what I will be using until after January. Peace and goodwill.

I recently bought some Sabian cymbals to go with my AAX 17" Studio Crash. Here is what I bought:
21" AAX Thin Ride (very crashable)
16" Thin Crash
14" AAX Medium Hats

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.
