MEINL HCS Bronze China Cymbal 18 in.

The MEINL HCS bronze china cymbal features an aggressive, penetrating attack with a clear, trashy sound. The overtones are cutting and bright. Every strike creates an explosion of sounds that lingers with medium sustain. Easy to stack with splashes and trashy crash cymbals for a staccato accent stack. As part of the HCS series, this china cymbal is made from B8 bronze and formed through lathing, using a wide blade. The alloy and extra lathing combine to create bright and clear tones while balancing sustain. And by keeping costs down, MEINL makes the HCS line accessible to beginners and players looking to expand their sound on a budget.
