Meinl Cymbals Super Set Box Pack - HCS Traditional Finish Brass - Made In Germany, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (HCS-SCS)

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 professional drummer may look for. These brass alloy models sound and look great, and let you get into playing MEINL at very realistic prices. The HCS-SCS "Super Cymbal Set" is an all-inclusive set of standard cymbal types and sizes that will complete a drum kit set up.

Included in the HCS Super Set are a 14" hi hat pair, 20" ride, 16" crash, 18" crash, 16" china, and a 10" splash. 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. The china is ideal for adding cutting accents with a sharp, sinister sound.

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, Meinl HCS cymbals stand up to the brunt of sticks while maintaining their musical tone. This represents a major upgrade from the "stock" starter cymbals that often come with drum sets - the HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel, making them ideal for 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. The Super Set contains all the components needed to complete a full drum kit, plus added effect cymbals to dial-in serious sounds.

The HCS cymbals are made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy for a clean, bright, and crisp tone. Their substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks give them a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones. Meinl's experience crafting cymbals since 1951 shines through, as the HCS line exceeds expectations by delivering quality on par with their top-of-the-line professional Byzance cymbals.

The surface of the HCS cymbals shimmers and shines under light, which is a bonus if you like your kit to look beautiful. They also feature the same logo treatment as Meinl's professional lines, including a small laser engraved logo and serial number. The seemingly never-ending selection of cymbal types in the HCS line means you can find any sound you need, with all the essentials covered in multiple sizes along with effect cymbals for sound variety.

In the end, these are German-made, top-quality entry level cymbals that resemble more high-end models with their crisp, bright tone and musical feel. They have a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and are suitable for any musical style. The HCS series from Meinl delivers professional-level cymbal options at very realistic prices, making them a great choice for beginner and intermediate drummers.
