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 13” hihats (top and bottom), a 14” crash, a FREE 10” splash, and 1 pair of FREE size 5A hickory drumsticks; plus, you'll get access to online drum lessons recorded by renowned educator and Meinl Cymbals artist, Mike Johnston
  • 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: 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 fit any musical style

    I was a bit skeptical at first when I saw the price but that's what I get for being a skeptic because this cymbal set is fantastic!!! The cymbals sound amazing, they are strong but not too thick so I get the crisp bright sound that I personally like in cymbals, the set comes with a free pair of sticks and 3 free online lessons, I mean.....what more do you want and for only $99.00!!! I've never played Meinl brand cymbals before and like most people, I'm on a budget and anyone who is as passionate about music as I am, knows that it's a very expensive passion to have, especially being a drummer, so for me to receive everything that comes in the package, for only $99.00 and to have the sound that they have, is unbeatable! I looked at some cymbal box sets from other companies and nobody even comes close to Meinl's price and nobody else had as much product in one package deal either. I'm ready to start buying some more Meinl cymbals to complete my drum kit!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great for practice, but mediocre sound at best
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020
    Style: 13"/14"/10" Plus SticksVerified Purchase
    I bought those to upgrade from the awful cymbals that came with my first drum set when I was beginning. Granted this is a VERY good price for a cymbal set- the high hats sound more like a cowbell than high hats when you're trying to play them close. These are VERY THICK cymbals. They don't have a nice hiss/chatter to them, they go from 0-10 the moment you open them up a millimeter, and sound very loud... and not in a good way. If you're looking for something to smack for practice these are perfect for you. If you plan on recording any music or using these to play a gig, even a small one- look elsewhere. I've since purchased a few cymbals from Zildjian, and I'm much more pleased with the quality. Perhaps I was expecting too much and I'm being too harsh in this review, please feel free to comment, I'm by no means an expert. Just giving my honest opinion. TL:DR- this package gives you quantity but lacks in quality.

    40 year player, 10 year hiatus, wife wanted a set, we both win. Hi hats are really clean and short, better than average, good bite . Crash is a standard rock crash with good harmonics and depth. The "free" 10" splash is crisp and fits well tonally with the others.

    This collection is really incredible for the price. I needed a set of cymbals for a practice set/jam set. When I saw these for under a hundred bucks, I thought I would try them because the reviews were great. There is a reason for this. These cymbals sound great. They are matched, so they sound well together. I can't stress how good these sound. These do not feel cheap like some others I have seen. Nice and solid with deep grooves and a bright finish. If your reading this, then you will eventually come back and buy these. You're welcome.

    I bought a really beat up kit so my friend and I could start learning drums. After a while we got tired of the worn out hi-hats sounding like garbage cans clashing together so I tried looking online for affordable options. I ended up coming across this set that had a lot more than what I was looking for but for a price I really didn't wanna pass up considering that it wasn't just the hi-hats that were beat up. I got this as a temporary solution until we could afford "better" equipment. When we set these up and started playing with them the quality in sound was huge. Of course considering that the old cymbals were beat up there'd be a difference for sure but i didn't expect the quality for these to be so crisp and nice. For a beginner it feels like a lot of variety to work with when using and setting these up to our preference. No regrets in this purchase and i can't recommend it enough for beginners who are trying to piece things together on their own.

    These sounded a little
    Cheaper than I anticipated I was hoping for brighter cleaner sounds . The largest crash doesn’t resonate much decent for a beginner but I feel they are lacking some sound quality
