Paiste are definately not cheap. Paiste, Sabian and Zildjian are the big 3 in cymbal terms. I've got all 3 on my kit, all of them sound brilliant.

Best way to decide what you like is to try them out in a shop, then you'll get an idea of how each sounds.

its just dave says he pays upto 170 for paiste? which is definately cheap for ride cymbals, and hats.

They had a price hike about half a year which knocked prices up. I usually get mine from www.ecymbals.co.uk although I've got the odd steal, like my 21" Paiste Sig ride was £170 from a friend who bought it, and then bought another one straight away and couldn't justify 2 rides.

I wouldn't say Paiste are cheap, I'm just a fan of Sabian.

And yeh, you can expect to pay that much for a cymbal alone sadly

Did anyone go to Music live at the NEC?.. Birmingham drum centre and Rattledrum had some insane deals on cymbals which had been played at a clinic a day before, I picked up the following, I know my cymbals and these were all 100% perfect with only a few stick marks, they all sound georgeous...

Paiste signature 14" heavy hihats - £140
Paiste signature 22" Power ride - £120
Paiste 2002 18" Novo china - £95

All for £340..

The same kit brand new would have cost like £800

I've heard rumours that the Big Three are planning price increases for this year

Rising copper prices are probably the main reason

Sweet looking snare, got any raw samples of it? I use a lot of sound replacement, using drumagog, always on the look out for decent snare samples. 5 or 6 samples of top and bottom in various positions with an sm57 should do it.

Had to share this with you.
This is a pic off a forums I can't link to but the thread is about your practise rooms.
This is how the drummer has got his kit setup and he claims he hasn't got a clue.
Look at the angle on the toms.
How long is his left leg?
