12inch Trash Stack Cymbal Pair - Made in Germany, 2-Year Warranty (HCS12TRS)

Performance Details

MAJOR UPGRADE FROM "STOCK" STARTER CYMBALS: These are not those distracting, cheap, and flimsy prop cymbals that come with most drum sets. Meinl HCS cymbals, however, have an impressive sound and sturdy feel, perfect for beginner and 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, you won't have to worry about them falling apart, denting, or bending after a few uses, unlike stock cymbals.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX: The package includes a 12-inch top cymbal that's like a trash crash and a 12-inch bottom cymbal that's a trash china type. The top cymbal hole cut-outs boost the trashy tone and reduce sustain, making it easy to fit on any stand when you stack them—though a stand is not included.

DRIVING THE SOUND: Made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy, HCS cymbals offer a clean, bright, and crisp tone. The substantial thickness and well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks give you a defined sound without any clangy or ear-piercing overtones.

CATCH UP QUICK: HCS exceeds expectations because Meinl brings over 70 years of experience crafting cymbals since 1951. We make HCS and other lines in our German factory, and our top-line professional Byzance cymbals are hand hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze.

ZOOM IN: The HCS cymbals' surfaces shimmer and shine under light, adding to the beauty of your drum kit. They also feature the same logo treatment as our professional lines, including a small laser-engraved logo and serial number.

OF NOTE: With a seemingly endless selection of cymbal types, you can find any sound you need in the HCS line. All essential sizes are covered, along with effects cymbals that let you expand your sound with variety.

THE BOTTOM LINE: This is a top-quality, German-made, entry-level cymbal that rivals higher-end models in its crisp, bright tone and musical feel. With a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, it's suitable for any musical style.
