well, the most important thing: you've picked all professional cymbals, which is good. the 12" hihats might be a bit unorthodox, and i haven't seen many people with the earth ride, but that's really all preferance. so all i can really say is to suggest you try all of them out before you buy (don't know if you have or not)
good luck!

For the ride, i would suggest a 20" ping ride. More versitile and all around better sound IMO. The crash seems ok to me. But the biggest thing i would comment on would be the china. Save your money and buy a wuhan for 15$. They are amazing.

I really like the earth ride, but the rest of your cymbals won't fit with it. I'd suggest the Sabian HH Vintage ride...beeeeeeeaaauuuutiful cymbal.

BOSPHORUS!!!! Gold or Traditional series, your choice. I'm currently using 14" med hats, 16" med crash and 20" heavy ride from the traditional series, and will add an 18" med-thin crash soon me-thinks. Even though the ride is heavy, it's still versatile, sounds great and speaks clearly at all volume levels. They're actually hand hammered, unlike the big three; nothing beats the wobble of a hand hammered ride that continues after the sound has become inaudible. Brilliant!!

I like your choice of crash. Great sounding cymbal that won't dissapoint. Have you tried the New Beats at all? IMO those sound better and are much more versatile than the A Custom Mastersounds.

Same answer as always:"Go to the next store and try them."
Nobody can tell you which cymbals you'll like best, it's a matter of individual taste. I like the A-custom crashes, while I don't like A-custom hats, for example. Some people prefer Sabian Vault Crashes over A-customs, some prefer cheap wuhan chinas over the most expensive paistes, only you can decide what suits your personal playing style and favorised sound.

Bit of an opposite for me, I like A custom hats* but sm not right into A custom crashes...
*I heard that you can get a good sound out of putting an A custom for a top on the hi hat and a Z custom on the bottom...
