Upgrading cymbals 1 at a time: hats, ride, or crash first?

Post by SweetDan »

Just like the title says.... If I'm upgrading (or acquiring) my cymbals, one at a time, is it best to upgrade the hats, ride, or crash first?
awesome youtube comment of the day
Bill and Ted time traveled and brought a bass player from 1973, a drummer from 1984 and a guitar player from 1995. Now they're spreading peace all over the world 🌎

IMO, poor crash cymbals sound the worst of the bunch, so I'd do those first. You can get by with bad hats and a bad ride. But bad crash cymbals sound real bad.
