In need of hi-hats and cymbals

[Gratifi3d]

Hi there, im a real beginner, and i need to get a new pair of hi-hats and a cymbal and a crash? (Sorry not sure of these terms yet.. but i know what they are though)

I'm on a tight budget, prolly ~300, and i really need to purchase those items for my new drum kit.

I have researched through many of our Singapore drum webbies and they seem to sell hi-hats which are around 300++ and the lowest i could find is $230. If i were to purchase those, i wouldn't be able to afford cymbals for a few months (i'm still a student ). Would it be ok if i just practiced with hi-hats and the drum kit w/o cymbals first?

Also, i'm just wondering whether there are any hi-hats/cymbals/crashes which are in my budget, yet reasonable in quality and durability.

Thank you so much!

for $300, you could actually get a paiste 101 ride, crash and hi-hats.

or for around that price u can get a meinl hcs cymbal set. works just as well..

Or, you can get a very cheap pearl hihat + crashride for under $100 first, and save up... and when you have enough then upgrade to higher end stuff.

Sweelee does hold some stock cymbals, but you've to dig for them. Ask the staff there, I suppose. Or you could camp in the buy-sell section.
