## 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" top and bottom hihat cymbals; they have an articulate "chick" sound when played closed with a lower pitch sizzle played open; their sound easily transitions styles from jazz to rock, and they blend great with a cajon too
- 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Its just the cymbals right? No Stand?**
A: That is correct. Just the two Cymbals. You must buy a stand separately.

**Q: What makes this hihat pair good for beginners? Will a seasoned drummer enjoy playing with these ? Are they long lasting ?**
A: I’ve had mine for 2 years on my pearl set, but I have the 14”. I here the 13” have a better sound. If that’s true it’s worth getting them. The 14” sound better than my zbt’s and my B8’s and I’m going to buy another set for my Ludwig drum set! The sound is that great! I’ve been playing for 35yrs and these are built to last! So yes an experienced drummer would be happy with these. I’ve seen them used by great drummers on you tube, that’s what had me convinced how great they are.

**Q: Besides the obvious, what is the difference between the 13 and 14 inch?  The 13 are way more $&.**
A: The 14 inches give a little more open tone and a louder more bright "chk" sound when you hit it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
