They sound amazing, sharp and dry. The bell on the 16 crash is the stuff of angels, and the ride is perfect for jazz with its dark sound and wash. In case you want a brighter ping, nylon sticks work wonderfully, though I believe regular old wooden sticks are still the best fit.
The package came with a bag, where I keep my old cymbals, and a free 10" splash, which has quickly become my favorite cymbal of all. I cannot recommend this set of cymbals enough, and I can't wait to try out the rest of the family (the stacks and the china, to be more precise).
Wonderful price-quality ratio too.
