A-Series Box Set Sweet Ride : The right choice if you're just getting started as a professional.

Bought these as my first professional set. Sounded awesome when mic'd right out of the box. The sweet ride and 16" crash can really cut through very well. I occasionally use the 18" crash as a crash ride during smaller gigs. Would have gone for a brilliant finish but I guess that's the only issue I have with these, The new beats hihat's characteristics are debatable but I personally love them as it suits my style of playing. if you're someone who likes a more controlled sound these are not made for you, go check out the K series by Zildjian. This is the best sounding set if you're looking for that fast and heavy sound in my opinion. Nothing can beat Zildjian sonically.
