About this item

  • MAJOR UPGRADE FROM "STOCK" STARTER CYMBALS: these are not those distractingly cheap, flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets; Meinl HCS cymbals have impressive sound and sturdy feel geared toward beginner/intermediate players
  • WHY IT MATTERS: 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
  • WHAT'S IN THE BOX: includes one 16" trash crash cymbal; it sounds like a cross between a china cymbal and a dark crash; hole cut-outs give it its trashy tone, and it's great for accents, cymbal stacking, or heavy fills with its quick sustain
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy for a clean, bright, and crisp tone; substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks give you a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones
  • CATCH UP QUICK: HCS exceeds expectations because Meinl brings experience crafting cymbals since 1951; we make HCS and other lines in our German factory, and our top-of-the-line professional Byzance cymbals are hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze
  • ZOOM IN: the surface shimmers and shines under light, which is a bonus if you like your kit to look beautiful; HCS cymbals also feature the same logo treatment as our professional lines, including a small laser engraved logo and serial number
  • OF NOTE: you can find any sound in the seemingly never-ending selection of cymbal types in the HCS line; all essentials in multiple sizes are covered along with effects cymbals that let you expand your sound with variety
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a German made, top-quality entry level cymbal that resembles more high-end models with its crisp, bright tone and musical feel; it has a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and fits any musical style

The HCS 16" Trash Crash delivers a well sought after "trash" effect with a short sustain that blends well and helps to compliment other small or large HCS cymbals. Enhance and round out the sound of your drum kit by combining this model with the HCS Bell for some truly innovative sounds! Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.

    I bought this crash to add to my son's Ludwig Pocket Kit. The price was reasonable so I made the purchase. You don't always get what you pay for. This cymbal is of way higher value than its listed price. I could not be happier. It's crisp and snappy. It has a beautiful bronze appearance and shimmer when hit with your sticks. I cannot say enough about this specific brand and cymbal. I will definitely order more from this company.
