This brass alloy China cymbal sounds and looks great, and lets you get into playing MEINL at a very realistic price. The HCS series from MEINL Cymbals 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 China cymbal has an explosive, brash attack with dark, trashy undertones that are ideal for adding a unique element to your playing. The sizes are industry standard, and the sound quality is unsurpassed in this price range. This cymbal has excellent crashing abilities with a medium sustain, perfect for big accents. Pair with the HCS Trash Crash or HCS Bell (sold separately) to really add some innovative sounds to your kit. MEINL HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.

These are not those distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets. No, MEINL HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel geared toward beginner/intermediate players. 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.
