Hi everybody,
I was looking for some advice on what cymbals to get. Currently I am looking for a full set of cymbals (14 Hi-hat, 16+18 Crash and a 20 Ride). Zildjian offers these 'value' packages that are much cheaper then buying the cymbals separately. I have narrowed my choice down to two sets that consist of:
K Custom Hybrid set
Could not find a link on the Zildjian site, but anyway...

I am looking for a versatile set that is usable both in the studio as in live settings, and suits music ranging from jazz, pop, funk to rock. Does anyone have any experience with these cymbals that could help me compare the two sets? I am eager to find out if one set is clearly more versatile then the other, or that it really does not matter that much.
Please note that I realize cymbal-taste is personal, but I would like to get your personal experiences in this as well. There is no 'real' truth but I want to know your truth. Of course I have tried both in a store already, but I am unable to see the versatility of the cymbals in a live-setting, which owners (hopefully like yourself) may have.
Hope to learn from your experiences and please let know if you need any additional information about my playing or needs for the cymbals. Thanks!
