Getting the right cymbals for your kit can be a challenging endeavor.

There are so many types, sizes, and colorations of cymbals you might wonder how you will ever decide which ones you want. You might think that going to a cymbal shop so you can hear each cymbal will help, and sometimes it does, sort of. You go around tapping on the various offerings in a cymbal room and find one you love. Then you get it home or on the gig, and it doesn't sound the same.

What's going on? Did they switch it at the store? Probably not, you just didn't hear it in the context of your other cymbals, nor in the context of the room in which you typically play. Oh well, you live and learn. Next time, bring your own with you to match them up.

Then there is the "I'll buy a matched set idea." Yeah. That works when you are starting out. You get a drum kit and know these usually don't come with cymbals. Why do they do that? Because drummers that care about their sound like to mix and match cymbals suited for their particular needs.
