Say Something Smart!
Hey everyone.
I'm looking to upgrade my Hi-Hats to a pair of A Zildjian New Beats (14"). I play mostly rock, pop, and I play in a local jazz band which plays really old jazz tunes, old "pop" tunes, and some old rock tunes.
I want some hats that are not too bright, but not dark enough to be strictly jazz hats. I think the New Beats do this pretty well. They are not brilliant in finish, so they're not too bright.
And for the crash, I'm looking at a Zildjian A Custom Projection Crash (16"). I already have a 15" A Custom Crash, and I love the way the 16" Projection Crash sounds.
Does anyone own any of these cymbals? How do you like them? What kind of music do you use them for?
Thanks for your input.

P.S. Where do you think I could find the best prices for all of these? I was hoping to get the Hi-Hats, Crash Cymbal and Boom stand for around $350. It looks like eBay is my best bet right now. Any suggestions on retailers?
