buying cymbals

Post by Keith Jordan »

I am going to buy some new cymbals for my drum kit in the next week but what to buy?!?!?! My band plays "brit rock" and have a relatively raw sound to us. I am thinking of getting the tried and tested sabian B8's but does anybody have any suggestions for other cymbals? Also, any good cheap online drum shops in the uk?

14" 16" and 20" probably! Are ZBTs any good? I will have to have a listen to them. I want a nice full sound that cuts through the guitars well.
