Cymbal Gear Recommendations ~$800

[KP1331]

I am planning to upgrade from stock cymbals. Looking to buy a new cymbal pack around $800 or less.

I play Pop, Rock and Metal.

I am considering the following packs
Paiste Pst8 uni set ($707) 14HH, 16C, 18C, 20R
Zildjian A Rock Pack ($690) 14HH,17C,19C,20R
MEINL Classic Customs Dark ($739) 14HH,16C,18C,20R
MEINL Classic Customs Medium ($769) 14HH,16C,18C,20R
Sabian XSR ($769) 14HH,16C,20R
Istanbul Agop Xist Cymbal Pack ($760) 14HH,16C,20R

Which of these would you recommend? Would love to hear your opinion.

Thanks

It's really all about personal preference here ..... even playing the Cymbal Raw without Mic and with Mic up can sound so different between brands .... for me for this range of Cymbals and for Rock .. I would Probably choose the " Zildjian A Rock Pack ($690) 14HH,17C,19C,20R "

Enjoy your Passion Brother ... Happy Drumming
