## Features

- 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 13” hihats (top and bottom), a 14” crash, a FREE 10” splash, and 1 pair of FREE size 5A hickory drumsticks; plus, you'll get access to online drum lessons recorded by renowned educator and Meinl Cymbals artist, Mike Johnston
- 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: these are German made, top-quality entry level cymbals that resemble more high-end models with their crisp, bright tone and musical feel; they have a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and fit any musical style

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cymbal mini
*by A***E on November 4, 2025*

Great product. The drummer at our church loves the sound.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for practice, but mediocre sound at best
*by D***F on February 7, 2020*

I bought those to upgrade from the awful cymbals that came with my first drum set when I was beginning. Granted this is a VERY good price for a cymbal set- the high hats sound more like a cowbell than high hats when you're trying to play them close. These are VERY THICK cymbals. They don't have a nice hiss/chatter to them, they go from 0-10 the moment you open them up a millimeter, and sound very loud... and not in a good way. If you're looking for something to smack for practice these are perfect for you. If you plan on recording any music or using these to play a gig, even a small one- look elsewhere. I've since purchased a few cymbals from Zildjian, and I'm much more pleased with the quality. Perhaps I was expecting too much and I'm being too harsh in this review, please feel free to comment, I'm by no means an expert. Just giving my honest opinion. TL:DR- this package gives you quantity but lacks in quality.
