Over the last few years, I have found some really good deals on new cymbals. Here is what I now have, all Sabian.

18" SR2 Thin (paid $100). This cymbal is a great crash-ride.
17" AAX Concept Crash (paid $110)
16" AAX Concept Crash (paid $100)
14" SR2 Hats (medium top, heavy bottom; paid $160)

So I paid $470 for all of these new cymbals. The hats sound great outside and in big rooms, but they do not sound very good in small rooms. So I may have to buy sound different hats. Otherwise I am totally satisfied with this setup. The pitches and blend are nearly perfect. Peace and goodwill.
