Personally, I use those "quiet tone" brand of quiet cymbals, which are still loud, so I ended up putting mutes on them. I then bought Pintech Percussion RS-5-5PK Acoustic Head Triggers, and simply tied the trigger to the cymbal (through the holes) and also taped them for good measure.. Crude and primitive for such nice equipment. It works for what I want which is essentially a silent drum kit that feels like actual drums.. I also trigger a real snare.
Again, crude, I wish I could get the cymbals to not feel weighted by the mutes and the triggers, but it feels infinitely better than the plastic cymbals that come with the kit. You could use any cymbals I think with the drum mutes but those mutes do contribute to ruining the feeling of the cymbals. Kind of depends on what you want to do with them. Best of luck on the endeavour!
