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 series of Meinl cymbals is marketed toward "beginner" drummers. As a drummer who has been behind his set for over 40 years, I have to say that this particular cymbal is pretty darn good sounding.
I have 2 Sabian HHX Ozone cymbals and I have to say that the Meinl HCS series of Ozone cymbals is very close to the quality of my Sabians. I would not hesitate to recommend this HCS cymbal to a professional or a beginning drummer. My only complaint is that the circular cutouts have rough edges. I would compare this cymbal to a high quality B8, hand hammered composition cymbal.
If you are looking for an Ozone cymbal at a relatively decent price, I would have to say that this it the cymbal you want.
