i would recoomend paiste pst 5 cos they would cut through the mix very well, sabian xs20s as they are the best budget line around i work in pounds so not sure about dollar prices though. or just go look on ebay cos u could buy some old hhx's or something on there and pay the same as a new b8 but i know which one i owuld prefer.

I'll tell ya right now the Wuhan S series crashes are excellent. The cymbals you mentioned can't hold a candle to those Wuhans. Those are all entry level cymbal at minumum the S series are intermediate cymbals to pro cymbals cast B20 bronze vs sheet B8 Hand made, hand hammered and lathed to machine stamped, machine hammered and lathed. The wuhans and loud and cutting with nice projection and good decay. Easily one of the best cymbal bargains on the market today. I'd post a pic of it but can't figure out how. Great line of cymbals. Good luck in whatever you pick.[/img]

The S-series Wuhans would be great for punk/rock.
