Durable and visually striking, it offers professional sound quality and craftsmanship at an accessible price, backed by a 2-year warranty.

## Description

These brass alloy models sound and look great, and let you get into playing MEINL at very realistic prices. The HCS series from MEINL is designed to offer all of the cymbal types and sizes normally found in professional lines to beginners in order to deliver the same sound options a working drummer may look for. The HCS 16" crash provides a warm crash sound with a medium sustain that blends well with other small or large HCS cymbals. Enhance and round out the sound of your drum kit by combining this model with the smaller 14" crash and a 20" ride cymbal. Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.

Review: Great cymbal! - I have been playing about a year and a half, and I might not be the most experienced player, but I know my stuff. This cymbal is well worth about 100$! For this price, you could get another good cymbal, but not with all of the qaulities of this cymbal. The Meinl 16" HCS Crash is a great cymbal for begginers or pros, it is extremley durable, loud, and tough. I beat the heck outta my cymbals, but i hit em the right way so they last, and this one especially puts up with a lot. An overall great buy, GET YOURSELF ONE!
Review: Perfect for beginners on up! Great quality & sound! - This is perfect for beginners on up. It's a high quality cymbal for an amazing price. Plus it sounds amazing!

## Features

- MAJOR UPGRADE FROM "STOCK" STARTER CYMBALS: these are not those distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets; Meinl HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel geared toward beginner/intermediate players
- WHY IT MATTERS: playing HCS cymbals will sound more like what you hear in actual songs, making the drums even more fun to play; plus, they aren't going to fall apart, dent, or bend after a few uses like stock cymbals
- WHAT'S IN THE BOX: includes one 16" crash cymbal; this crash cuts through music with a clear attack and balanced sustain that doesn't linger too long; it delivers exceptional punch to accent the beat, and it blends with all other HCS crash sizes
- DRIVING THE SOUND: made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy for a clean, bright, and crisp tone; substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks give you a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones
- CATCH UP QUICK: HCS exceeds expectations because Meinl brings experience crafting cymbals since 1951; we make HCS and other lines in our German factory, and our top-of-the-line professional Byzance cymbals are hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze
- ZOOM IN: the surface shimmers and shines under light, which is a bonus if you like your kit to look beautiful; HCS cymbals also feature the same logo treatment as our professional lines, including a small laser engraved logo and serial number
- OF NOTE: you can find any sound in the seemingly never-ending selection of cymbal types in the HCS line; all essentials in multiple sizes are covered along with effects cymbals that let you expand your sound with variety
- THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a German made, top-quality entry level cymbal that resembles more high-end models with its crisp, bright tone and musical feel; it has a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and fits any musical style

This is perfect for beginners on up. It's a high quality cymbal for an amazing price. Plus it sounds amazing!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The HCS line is exceedingly good quality for the price
*by D***Z on October 28, 2018*

I was looking to replace my hi hats not to long ago and figured I'd try out the HCS line as my finances are limited. I was so pleased with the sound and quality that I have since replaced all the cymbals in my kit with Meinl HCS cymbals. If you're looking for cymbals that play and sound above their pricepoint, look into Meinl.
