Meinl Cymbals HCS Ultimate Cymbal Set Box Pack for Drums

The HCS ultimate cymbal set from Meinl Cymbals, featuring a free 16" Trash crash, allows you to take your practice and performance to a new level of creativity and inspiration. This full range of HCS brass cymbals will complete your drum set with every essential, and the effect cymbals are designed to cue in serious sound.

Included in this one-stop Ultimate Set are a 14" Hi Hat pair, 20" Ride, 14" Crash, 16" Crash, 18" Crash, 14" China, 8" Bell, 10" Splash, plus the free 16" Trash crash. The Hi Hats have a crisp "chick" with a nice slosh when played open, while the ride cymbal delivers a well-defined "ping" and a cutting bell without distracting overtones. HCS crashes respond with a warm attack followed by a medium sustain, and the China is ideal for adding cutting accents with a sharp, sinister sound. The bell provides a light and bright sonic alternative with a long sustain, and the 10" Splash cymbal is a standard and ideal for quick accents or spicing up fills. The free 16" Trash crash, with its specially cut holes, takes a normal crash sound and shortens its sustain while adding a blend of trashy tones that can really change the dynamic of your playing.

This full range of cymbals allows you to experiment with different set-ups to find your own personal musical touch and appearance on the drums. Stack the splashes and bell inverted over the larger cymbals to eliminate the need for other stands while reaching the look of a professional.

Meinl HCS cymbals are crafted in Germany with a durable brass alloy that has a responsive touch with an unmatched sound quality in this range. Geared towards beginners, HCS cymbals stand up to the brunt of sticks while maintaining their musical tone. These are not the distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets; HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel, making them a major upgrade from "stock" starter cymbals.

Playing HCS cymbals will sound more like what you hear in actual songs, making the drums even more fun to play, and they aren't going to fall apart, dent, or bend after a few uses like stock cymbals. Meinl's experience crafting cymbals since 1951 shines through in the HCS line, which is made in their German factory. The surface shimmers and shines under light, and the cymbals 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 along with effects cymbals that let you expand your sound with variety. These are top-quality entry-level cymbals that resemble more high-end models with their crisp, bright tone and musical feel, and they have a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, making them suitable for any musical style.
