I have a lot of zildjians myself, but as I get older I'm increasingly drawn to stuff from other brands. I currently have full set ups from Paiste and Meinl in addition to my zildjian stuff

I like the Paiste's because they are wholly unique sounding from the other big makers and i like meinl because they aren't scared to make an actually thin cymbal and offer their dark/dry cymbals at a more reasonable price than zildjian or sabian

i wanna look into some Istanbul agop stuff soon, but thats probably something that will have to wait until next year

what brands have you explored?
