Don't bother with the ZXT's, they're not worth the money. If I were in your position, I'd consider buying used and getting some cymbals of discernible quality. Try places like eBay and www.cymbalcellar.com to see what you can get for your money. I'd suggest you looked at Zildjian A/A Custom Series and Sabians AA/AAX Series just to see what's out there, neither are massively expensive on the used market and the quality is top notch.

i second MFB's motion, if you look through all the similar threads asking about starter cymbals you wont find anyone endorsing them, get quality stuff second hand and then sell it if you ever decide that drums aren't for you. Cymbals hold their price if there are quality. Second hand zxt's will not.

I'd advise against buying them. Its better to buy second hand good cymbals , because if you end up not liking them or one day want a different sound , providing you don't crack them , you can always resell them at roughly the same price you bought them for.

If you buy ZXT's your going to lose more money as the re-sell value isn't going to be worth much at all. And with ZXT's you'll WANT to upgrade one day down the track....

So in conclusion , get high quality cymbals - either second hand or brand new

I tink that that's a much better approach than getting ZXT's. I got some and I regret it so much after seeing what I could have got for the same money. Make sure you take your time on getting your cymbals, you may not change them for a long time so pick carefully.
