Cymbal Sets — pros & cons

Pros
  • Offers a cohesive and balanced sound across the entire kit.
  • Can be more cost-effective than buying individual cymbals.
  • Provides a curated selection, simplifying the cymbal purchasing process.
  • Often includes a ride, crashes, and hi-hats – a complete starting point.
Cons
  • Less flexibility to customize the kit's individual cymbal sounds.
  • May include cymbals a drummer doesn't personally need or prefer.
  • Can be more difficult to upgrade specific cymbals later on.
  • The overall sound is dictated by the lowest common denominator of the set.

Questions about Cymbal Sets

How do I determine the appropriate weight for a cymbal set?

Lighter sets are more responsive and versatile, while heavier sets offer more projection and sustain. Consider your playing style and the venue you typically play in.

What does 'alloy' refer to when discussing cymbal sets?

Alloy describes the mix of metals used in cymbal construction, significantly impacting tone. Common alloys include bronze (B8, B20) and brass, each producing a distinct sonic character.

If I only need a crash and ride, is buying a full set still worthwhile?

It depends. Sets can sometimes offer a better value, but assess if the included hi-hats and other cymbals are useful or will just take up space.
