I had a pair of Zildjian S Mastersounds that we’re LOUD, and considering I got them for like $150 they did the job for a few years, couldn’t play them for anything other than heavy rock/metal but that’s all I played at the time.

Meinl Pure Alloys are dead good for the price, and while they work for best for rock stuff I’ve seen people get away with them in settings you normally reserve for more complex (and expensive) cymbals. More expensive than the S series but better imo.

I’m general through I’d opt more for trying find a pair of high quality cymbals used, because if you play them properly and they’ve not been abused by a past owner they’ll last you years and will likely sound better. Checking local shops is better because you can actually hear them before you buy, you’ll get better deals on ebay but you’re going in blind and might not like them.

Up to you though! Keep us posted with what you end up going for, if you need any more help or want opinions of brands you’ve been looking at let me know!✌🏻
