The HCS Trash China cymbal has specially cut out holes that give the cymbal what drummers call a "trashy" effect, a sound that is highly popular throughout any style from progressive rock to fusion and funk. This cymbal is perfect for crash riding when music levels peak, accenting fills or using it in a cymbal stack configuration by placing it directly underneath or on top of another cymbal.
China cymbals have a unique sound effect that is formed by having a lip on the edge of the cymbal. This special shaping morphs the sound into a more edgy and brash tone. A combination of the shaping and holes dry out the sound, leaving the trash China with a short sustain but full of personality.
HCS Cymbals
The MEINL HCS line offers drummers of all ages and levels the highest quality cymbals at an incredible value. HCS cymbals are made in Germany from MS63 brass alloy, and they are lathe formed with wide blade lathing and feature a traditional finish. 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. 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.
