Meinl HCS Cymbal Pack - HCS141620

Review

Meinl is the epitome of efficient German engineering, combining over 50 years of instrument expertise with advanced manufacturing processes.

The company's ever-expanding range of cymbals has models to suit all genres. The set we have for review contains a selection from Meinl's entry-level HCS range, which it says "offers the best possible sounds at an affordable price".

"Striking the 16" crash at the edge with the stick shoulder sees the cymbal peak instantly and tail off just as rapidly, leaving a sustained note that's actually quite pleasant."

Buying cymbals in a boxed set can have advantages over purchasing them individually; it saves money and the hassle of selection, and they will usually be tonally matched.
