Same, sorta. When I had multiple kits, I had one all Paiste kit, then the other was a mix of decent sounding zildjian/sabian cymbals. Sorta like the snare below, while working at Guitar Center (ugh..) I'd happen across a really sick sounding cymbal and just snap purchase it.
All the reps from the different companies were really funny. They would throw casual snipes out at other manufacturers. I remember specifically the Zildjian rep talking up their manufacturing process, then gave a backhand compliment to Paiste for theirs.

Tama's Bubinga series is really nice stuff. Good choice imo

Yeah, tapped it with a stick once then instantly bought it.
Odd thing is, I wasn't even considering buying a snare on that trip.

1 2 3 45 1 2 3 45
45 1 2 3 45 1 2 3
sounds cool, but blew my mind when trying to think of how beats landed.

Well, I mean if you introduce a new syncopated rhythm to someone, it's not going to be something they can instantly pick up.
