Zildjian-
all zildjians made before about 1966 are likely to be better than most modern cymbals. this is due to what is known as the Ringo Effect. before they were made extra world famous by Ringo on the beatles American tour, zildjian were almost completely hand crafted. that is lathed and often hammered. the huge rise in demand resulting from the Ringo Effect led to zildjian automating parts of the process that contribute to the sound.
if you really want cymbals that feel and sound like musical instruments you are best off buying vintage zildjians and early sabians (made by Robert zildjian) from the internet. Surprisingly it will probably cost you less than buying new mass produced clangers from the shops.
this is a well researched opinion.

∙ 13y agoI would say that (at least out of the REALLY popular brands) Meinl or Paiste probably make the most expensive cymbals. The Paiste 2002 15" Sound Edge Hi-Hats (which were used by John Bonham) sell for a whopping $475 while I saw a Meinl Mb20 ride cymbal that cost $650. Apparently the full pack of the Sabian Neil Peart cymbals sell for close to $3,000, although I don't know exactly how many cymbals are in that pack so that could be up for discussion.
