Wouldn't really make sense to mix them...
Electronic set
-You'll have your headphones on while playing
Real cymbals
-Will be muffled through headphones
Acoustic snare
-Will be muffled through headphones
UNLESS, you mic your cymbals and snare as well, and run all the outputs into a mixer, then to your headphones.
If you like to incorporate electronic sound patches and effects, you could go full acoustic, then use triggers and a module.

The context of this needs to be understood.
If you perform, on a stage, yes this works. The issue is knowing how to balance your cymbal volume with your triggered samples, and the placement of your monitors to giv eyou a credible 'image' of the kit. I have done this live with several drummers, and you can also mic your cymbals but this complicates matters and you really do not need to mic up any more that your hihats if you are playing to small to medium sized audiences particularly if you are playing in a closed venue.
If you are looking at a practice situation, the same for live application as above applies.... there is no point to it all if you are using headphones, unless you are mic'ing your cymbals as well.
Further unless you are a 'colour' drummer, a drummer with nuances in dynamics, and not a big beat drummer, the use of cast cymbals, can be limited to hats and a favourite ride. Crashes in most pop music applications might as well be electronic.

alternatively, u can diy a cheap ol tama stagestar stock cymbals, dampen it and drill two holes, buy a project box, a stereo jack, two piezos, stereo cable, some solder and solder em..
its roland compatible and chokeable. its feels real, no loud acoustic noise, just plain old plock sound u would normally hear from a plastic roland cymbal...
