Meinl HCS Cymbals UK — Into Music Store

The Meinl HCS Cymbals are one of the most comprehensive entry-level cymbal ranges available anywhere. Made in Germany from MS63 brass alloy with a lathe-formed profile and wide blade lathing, they deliver a bright, musical tone that works across a wide range of playing styles — from beginners building their first setup to experienced drummers looking for affordable effects cymbals to add to their kit.

The range is exceptionally broad, covering splashes in 8", 10", and 12", hi-hats in 13", 14" standard, 14" Soundwave, and 15", crashes in 14", 16", and 18", rides in 18" Big Bell, 18" and 20" Crash/Ride, 20" standard, and 22", chinas in 12", 14", 16", and 18", and an extensive effects selection including Trash Crashes, Trash Chinas, Trash Stacks, Smack Stacks, and the 8" Micro Stack Hats. The Practice HCS sub-series offers reduced-volume versions of the core hi-hats, crashes, and ride — ideal for home practice — available individually or as a complete Practice Set. Four set options make it easy to get started: the Crash & Hi-Hat Set, the Complete Set, the Extended Set (14"/16"/18"/20"), and the Super Set — a six-piece setup including a china.
