General

The cymbal specialists at Meinl are responsible for countless models, spread throughout multiple series of cymbals. For drummers who like to keep a tight reign on their budget, or who are just starting out, the HCS series comes highly recommended. These cymbals are manufactured through a high-tech, computerised process and given a traditional finish. As you may have guessed, the HCS 14-16 cymbal set contains a 14-inch pair of hi-hats and a 16-inch crash made of Meinl's MS63 brass alloy, and those two make a great team!

Meinl HCS 14-16

Do not underestimate the importance of matching your cymbals, as your entire sound can suffer if your cymbals do not match well together. Luckily, all HCS series cymbals -including the ones in this set - are sonically matched, resulting in excellent harmony between them. The hi-hats have a warm, clean sound with a well-defined response and articulate attack, while the crash is a real all-rounder with medium sustain, smooth attack and a rich spread. With the HCS 14-16 cymbal set you'll be getting a delicious duo that will feel right at home in any drum kit.
