After alot of study, reading articles and listening to reviews, I decided to buy the K-series Profi Promo Pack. The overall sound of the cymbals are satisfying, although way too dark for my taste. I kept thinking to return the package, but maybe I'll purchase a brighter cymbal to level the sound. I know it's all a matter of taste, but they seriously lack the stick definition (especially the ride). I'd like a mix between a washy and definite sound, because I tend to ride the crashes and crash the ride. If you feel the same, maybe consider buying the K-Sweet Series, although they do not come as a pack :(

First of all, I am a beginner so I have a limited knowledge BUT I like to read a lot and test a lot and make sure what I get is what I want. I guess in case of Zildjian K I made a mistake. There were some 71 reviews on this cymbals in Thomann's page and almost 5 star, not to mention a whole lot of reviews in magazines with good recommendation. Well I bought them, tested them and certainly didn't like them and with MANY THANKS to the great service from Thomann I sent them back. I specially didn't like the HiHat and the bell on the ride. The ride is not for Jazz (my opinion), it's too bright. Anyway, I drove to Thomann and Clemens there helped me a lot and I selected Ride: Sabian Big and Ugly 24" Apollo, HiHat: Istanbul Mehmet Turk 15" and Crash: Zultan Raw 20". I haven't received them yet but am very much looking forward to getting them. When I was there I very much enjoy they cymbals. Anyway, these Zildjian K are NOT the same as good old Zildjian's which were made in Turkey. These are made in US and not with hand!
