hey, im kinda new to the drumming world, just got myself a starter kit which only came with a crap crash/ride and some terrible hi-hats. i have a birthday comming up soon, and was intrested in getting some new cymbals. i asked my drum teacher, and he recommended Sabian Pro Sonix, but i can't find them anywhere! just wondering if there were any similar cymbals on the market with the same sort of sound and the same sort of price. many thanks

I would agree with that choice. I've had pro level Paiste cymbals for many years. They sound much better than the cheap low end stuff. You'll sound better plus build a better ear for your sound. I've bought high end cymbals over several years. I now have an assortment that I can pick for any band. Watch for high end used cymbals....You'll be glad you did.
