Take your practice and performance to a new level of creativity and inspiration with the HCS Ultimate cymbal set featuring a FREE 16" trash crash from Meinl Cymbals. This full range of HCS brass cymbals will complete your drum set with every essential, and the effect cymbals are designed to cue in serious sound. Included in this one stop ultimate set are a 14" hi hat pair, 20" ride, 14" crash, 16" crash, 18" crash, 14" china, 8" bell, 10" splash, plus a FREE 16" trash crash. The hi hats have a crisp "chick" with a nice slosh when played open while the ride cymbal delivers a well-defined "ping" and a cutting bell without distracting overtones. HCS crashes respond with a warm attack followed by a medium sustain. The china is ideal for adding cutting accents with a sharp, sinister sound. Use the bell for a light and bright sonic alternative with a long sustain. The 10" splash cymbal is a standard and ideal for quick accents or spicing up fills. For a truly unique effect, dig in with the FREE 16" trash crash. Its specially cut holes take a normal crash sound and shorten its sustain while adding a blend of trashy tones that can really change the dynamic of your playing. This full range of cymbals allows you to experiment with different set ups to find your own personal musical touch and appearance on the drums. Stack the splashes and bell inverted over the larger cymbals to eliminate the need for other stands while reaching the look of a professional. HCS cymbals are crafted in Germany with a durable brass alloy that has a responsive touch with an unmatched sound quality in this range. Geared towards beginners, Meinl HCS cymbals stand up to the brunt of sticks while maintaining their musical tone.
