HCS 18” Trash Crash Cymbal with Holes for Drum Set — MADE IN GERMANY — Traditional Medium Brass, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

The Meinl HCS line offers drummers of all ages and levels the highest quality cymbals at an incredible value. Meinl is proud to offer the widest variety of cymbal models and types in this price range, making HCS a great place to start your cymbal collection or add to it. HCS cymbals are made in Germany from MS63 brass alloy, and they are lathe formed with wide blade lathing and feature a traditional finish.

• 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 18" 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
