Recommend me some drum cymbals

[guy in latvia]

So we've decided to upgrade our really crappy cymbals to something that doesn't sound like complete garbage but is still on a tight budget. Firstly we want to try and get a new crash ride and a china. What can you guys recommend on a sub 100 euro budget per cymbal? Does anyone have experience with Wuhan?

That's a really cheap budget.

Wuhan won't last you longer than a few sessions regardless of how they sound.

i doubt that. My drummer´s cracked 3 Sabian 14"s in ... a year? His Wuhan is several years old and still perfectly fine.

do you have access to Zultan cymbals? I got a team of 16-17-18 from the Aja series. Slightly trashy sound, but brighter and a lot more lively than all the modern cymbals the average drummer brings into the studio. I prefer them over some AAX any time of day

regarding china cymbals: maybe you can find an older Anatolian Ultimate Swish in up to 18" for that price

These sound absolutely fine and they are made of B-20, not some shitty alloy.
For a china, Stagg SH are just great

I love sabian's that's it (I hate zildjan's).... but of course the prince range is higher with sabian's!
I really don't know if you can find cheap cymbals, you gotta go to a music store and try them and see if you like 'em
