Looking at excellent Pearl cymbals at musicians friend reminds me of a friend who used to play cymbals when we were in college. Actually he never was the musically inclined type of person, he's sporty and rough and there seemed to be no trace of being creative or artistic in his blood. But then he needed to join the band to keep his scholarship. The good thing about him is that though he was not into it, he was very determined and became one of the best cymbal players of the band. And from what I know of, even now, after all the years passed, he still plays it, which means he really did learn to love it.
