Meinl Cymbals HCS 18” Trash China Cymbal

The Meinl HCS line offers drummers of all ages and levels the highest quality cymbals at an incredible value. Meinl is proud to offer the widest variety of cymbal models and types in this price range, making HCS a great place to start your cymbal collection or add to it. 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 HCS cymbals are not the distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets; instead, they have an 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, and they won't fall apart, dent, or bend after a few uses like stock cymbals.

The package includes one 18" trash china cymbal, which has a bold, trashy sound that's perfect for accents and adding energy to your playing. The hole cut-outs boost the trashy tone even more and reduce sustain for a quick, explosive sound.

The HCS cymbals are made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy, resulting in a clean, bright, and crisp tone. The substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks give you a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones.

Meinl brings over 70 years of experience crafting cymbals since 1951. The HCS line is manufactured in their German factory, and their top-of-the-line professional Byzance cymbals are hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze.

The surface of the HCS cymbals shimmers and shines under light, adding a bonus if you like your kit to look beautiful. These cymbals also feature the same logo treatment as Meinl's professional lines, including a small laser engraved logo and serial number.

The HCS line offers a seemingly never-ending selection of cymbal types, covering all the essentials in multiple sizes, as well as effects cymbals that let you expand your sound with variety. This German-made, top-quality entry-level cymbal resembles more high-end models with its crisp, bright tone and musical feel, and it has a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, making it suitable for any musical style.

In summary, the Meinl HCS line is a great choice for drummers of all ages and skill levels, providing high-quality cymbals at an incredible value. With its impressive sound, sturdy construction, and wide range of options, the HCS line is a fantastic starting point or addition to any cymbal collection.
