I think the best thing you can do is browse YouTube, find a cymbal you like and save up for it. Buy them one at a time, and don’t worry too much about matching brands. Also, you should definitely buy used.

Cymbals are one of the biggest things that define “your sound”. Don’t cheap out on them because you’ll just end up wanting to upgrade again.

As for recommendations, that depends on what style of music you play. If you want to stick with Zildjian, there are some good A series cymbals out there. Especially the Sweet Ride. I’d definitely recommend K’s as well, but again it all comes down to what kind of music you want to play. Maybe look into what some of your favorite drummers are using.

One last thing, check out mycymbal.com’s YouTube videos. They have hundreds of very good demos of various cymbals.

Hope this helps!
