Product Description

Meinl 18" Crash/Ride Cymbal - HCS Traditional Finish Brass for Drum Set, Made in Germany, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (HCS18CR)

UPGRADE FROM STOCK CYMBALS: replaces the flimsy cymbals most entry-level kits include—Meinl HCS sounds real and feels solid
WHY IT MATTERS: better sound makes practice more fun—and durable brass stands up to regular playing
18" CRASH-RIDE: bridges the gap between a ride and crash with a balanced weight for both uses—delivers a bright "ping" when played on top and a wide-open wash when crashed
MADE IN GERMANY: German brass delivers a bright, clean sound without harsh ringing
WHY CHOOSE HCS: built by the same team behind Meinl's professional cymbals, so you get reliable quality from the same craftsmanship trusted by professionals worldwide
ZOOM IN: precision lathe grooves and hammer marks create a polished look and help shape a more musical sound
ROOM TO EXPAND: from hihats, crashes, and rides to effects cymbals and stacks in multiple sizes, Meinl HCS lets you build a setup that grows with your skills and style
BOTTOM LINE: German-made entry-level cymbals with musical sound, lasting durability, premium feel, and all-style versatility

These brass alloy models sound and look great, and let you get into playing MEINL at very realistic prices. The HCS series from MEINL 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 working drummer may look for. The HCS 18" crash/ride blends the cutting "ping" sound found in a ride cymbal with a smooth crash effect when played as a crash cymbal. The size and weight of this model makes it useful for a multitude of purposes. The HCS crash/ride has excellent stick definition and a clear, penetrating bell with warm undertones and a medium sustain. When heavier moments arise in the music, it makes for a perfect crash cymbal. Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.
