I have two: a Zildjian 16" that I paid about 100 bucks for at least 15 years ago after I saw Charlie Watts using one and a cheapo 10" Wuhan that I got from Guitar Center for 10-15 bucks a couple of years ago. They're not appropriate on every song, but I love 'em and so did my old bassist.

You have to look for sales and be selective. I've also been able to pick up some great cymbals (most notably a 17" Zildjian and an 18" Paiste) used for around 50 bucks at Buffalo Drum Outlet. If you go used, though, you have to check the equipment very carefully, of course.

I also have a Tama kit (but I'd kill for Yamaha Oak Customs); however, I'm a Zildjian man through and through.
