The MEINL HCS bronze heavy ride cymbal has an energetic sound with a solid stick response. This cymbal emits a bright, clear ping that stands up to even the loudest music. The bell is cutting and loud, and the bow is built for a long sustain. Heavy rides are designed to allow for a classic ride sound with less wash than thinner cymbals, and this model offers those benefits at a highly affordable price. As part of the HCS series, this ride is made from B8 bronze and formed through lathing, using a wide blade. The alloy and extra lathing combine to create bright and clear tones while balancing sustain. And by keeping costs down, MEINL makes the HCS line accessible to beginners and players looking to expand their sound on a budget.
