I bought these as my first cymbal set (im 14), and they are great and sound awesome. The 20 inch ride is my favourite and the Hi Hats are great too, I love the sets washy sound with great tone. All this, and they also look FANTASTIC! The photos look a bit brown, but in reality they have a great blue finish with brown underneath, they kind of look color case hardened! Great product, I strongly reccomend
