About this item

  • 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: 10" splash, 12" china, plus a FREE Meinl cymbal stacker attachment; the stacker threads onto any cymbal stand to mount both cymbals on one stand
  • 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: these are German made, top-quality entry level cymbals that resemble more high-end models with their crisp, bright tone and musical feel; they have a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and fit any musical style

What's in the box

  • Not Included
  • Product Description

    Outfit your kit with the HCS-FX stack complete with a FREE cymbal stacker from MEINL! Included is a 10” splash and a 12” china that are chock-full of sound and ready for easy placement on your set along with a free stacker attachment that requires no extra stand to mount. The powerful 12” HCS china gives you a cutting, quick, and trashy response that cracks through the music. Its lightweight is an added bonus for keeping the cymbal balanced when placed on the bottom of the stack. The 10” HCS splash is great for quick accents and splash fills with its fast decay. It expands your sound and performs well with other MEINL HCS cymbals. The size is an advantage for players looking to add unique sound options without rearranging their kit to accommodate a larger cymbal. HCS cymbals from MEINL are crafted in Germany with a durable brass alloy that holds up to the force of sticks while maintaining excellent musical pitches and tones. This effect stack delivers all of the comfort players look for when piggybacking cymbals. The FREE stacker puts 5.5” of clearance between the two cymbals, allowing you to move your sticks freely without catching one cymbal or the other by mistake. Simply thread the attachment on your existing cymbal stand until finger tight and it holds securely, even for the harder hitters. The end result is a ferocious, professional look with a variety of sonic alternatives.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could have heard them before buying them
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018
    I bought without trying them out, so I had expectations based on other brand cymbals.

    The splash is way, way thicker material than expected, giving it a very garbage-can sounding solid ringing ching instead of the light, fast tshhh I expected. If I were to categorize this, i would say it is a miniature ride cymbal. After a couple days of trying to get used to this, I took it off and am now using as part of a stack on cheaper hi hats and gels + chains to alter the sound.

    The china sounds as expected, with a definite shwaaah, but again made thicker than expected so the tone is much deeper than the size suggest.
