** I want some reasonable cymbals, what should I buy?

The choice is massive but let me narrow it down a little. In my opinion Sabian Solars are perfectly adequate for practise but not for performance. Sabian B8's are the next step up and would be acceptable for live performance in an amateur band. Though a good experienced drummer could tell you they have a "budget sound", I doubt the general public would notice.
After that, the sky is the limit but don't be completely influenced by the manufacturers logo or price, choose with your ears and not your eyes. All of the major manufacturers make good cymbals and have a full range from budget to top pro gear.There is no such thing as "the best cymbal manufacturer", its just personal taste. Cymbals are usually offered with good discounts off the manufacturers recommended retail prices, if you are not offered a competitive price, try elsewhere.

** Can you recommend some shops to me?
