If you decide to look into cymbals, allow me to introduce you to a Turkish cymbal company that makes very high quality and affordable cymbals: Istanbul/Agop, or Mehmet cymbals. Check out the site... do some window shopping. :Dhttp://istanbulcymbals.com/products.htmlI'm not just hyping a company either, I own four cymbals from them and they are the best I've ever owned. Like getting a $1500 K for $350!It's always huge fun looking for and thinking about stuff to spend your money on!John
Definitely *not* to poop on your suggestion, but if I had 500 bucks for cymbals, nothing could keep me from them Keropes!
