Here's two. I have since lowered the ride cymbal a few inches on pic #2. I raised it up and it was too high. Now, it's flush with the rack tom. The first set is my Capri Pearl Slingerlands.

Hmmmm... I've reached a point where I'm done buying and selling. All three of these sound great and are really fun to play. I would describe them as keepers.
