[quote name='curtisg43228']Im looking for the same. A buddy of mine told me you could buy them from somewhere for $200 without the cymblas, and buy aftermarket ones for $30. I know not much of a deal but he did also say that the aftermarket cymbals were better. Not sure how true that is but thats what im looking to do..[/QUOTE]
The Ion cymbals are standard V-drum cymbals... I doubt you'd find any that would be substantially "better."
There's another thread on here where someone has mentioned some company having the Ions for $280 shipped. I guess that's pretty decent... I got mine for $300 at BB, and I bought the warranty. So far, I have replaced them once (the brain would randomly disconnect), and am about to replace them again (pedal is lose and the pads are getting very worn)... if you plan on playing it a lot, that may be the way to go.
