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 Meinl HCS 14" china delivers an immediate cutting and trashy, brash response that works as a great accent to round out your drum kit. This model works perfectly as an effect cymbal that will stand out and compliment the other sounds in your set up. Pair with the HCS Trash Crash or HCS Bell for some really innovative sounds! Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.
