collapse expand iconDescription

The HCS Traditional Trash Stack cymbal pair is made of brass alloy. They sound and look great, and let you get into playing MEINL at very realistic prices. Equipped with holes that boost trashiness and bite, this unique trash stack delivers a fast and aggressive sound with a short sustain. This cymbal pair includes top and bottom cymbals. The top cymbal is like a trash crash, and the bottom is a trash China type. Made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy for a clean, bright and crisp tone, they have substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks to give you a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones.

HCS Cymbals
The HCS series from MEINL is designed to offer all of the cymbal types and sizes normally found in professional lines to beginners in order to deliver the same sound options a professional drummer may look for. 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. 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.

    Interesting alternative crash stacker but each of the cymbals have clashing tones. Better quality and refinement would help reduce rogue overtones.

  • Bang for the Buck!

    Ordered this trash cymbal online from Guitar Center to goof around with. This trash cymbal is versatile, it works great for accents, as a fixed hi hat and even as a snare beat. It is a fun and playful addition to my kit.

  • Would buy again!

    I play in a sanctuary and this stack right here sets the tone. Rather it's loosened or tightened beautiful altogether.
