Made in Germany from specially treated MS63 brass, it combines a focused response with a mid-dark tonal character and a distinctive dark finish. A practical choice for drummers who want clear crash punctuation rather than a lingering cymbal wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePunchy crashes that keep the groove clear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark the start of a chorus, land the final hit of a tom fill or add emphasis to a backbeat. The HCS Dark crash's short sustain lets those accents speak without hanging over the following phrase. Its controlled response suits rock and pop playing, while the 16-inch size offers a useful crash voice on its own or alongside other HCS crash sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-inch crash size for punchy accents and musical transitions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-decaying sustain leaves room for the next drum or cymbal hit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecially treated MS63 brass provides the HCS Dark series' focused response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-dark timbre offers an alternative to brighter cymbal sounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium weight and medium-to-low volume support a controlled cymbal voice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark finish adds a distinctive visual contrast to your kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerman-made construction with MEINL Pressure Point Technology shaping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand and series: MEINL HCS Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: HCS16DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType and diameter: crash cymbal, 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: MS63 brass alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacter: defined and harmonious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimbre and pitch: mid-dark, low-mid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustain: short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: medium to low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight category: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaping: Pressure Point Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLathing: wide blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested musical styles: rock and pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore MEINL cymbals at Into Music\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind complementary sounds in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/meinl-hcs-dark-cymbals\"\u003eMEINL HCS Dark cymbals collection\u003c\/a\u003e or compare \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-meinl-cymbals\"\u003eall MEINL cymbals\u003c\/a\u003e.
