Zultan Impulz Cymbal Set

Just for reference, I play Zildjians L80 at home and K series in a local studio and my previous set for rehearsals and open mics was Paste 101.
The Impulz is beautiful to look at but quite heavy (as in weight to carry around).
- Ride has a huge sustain and remains vibrating for ages, which might suit some people but for the type of music i play is not ideal.
- Hi-hats sound cheap and nasty.
- Crash is ok but it doesn't seem to cut through the rest of the band. The splash is the best part, maybe because it was free.
And the final nag is that they got lots of stick marks straight away. I haven't tried cleaning them.
The first lesson here for me is not to believe the recordings we listen here and on youtube reviews. The second is that i'd be better off saving in other areas but spending more on cymbals.
