    • NOT a shabby cymbal!
Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
I am somewhat disappointed with Amazon's delivery time (the cymbal did not ship until 7 days after I placed the order), but I am happy with the overall quality of the cymbal itself. The HCS series of Meinl cymbals is marketed toward "beginner" drummers. As a drummer who has been behind his set for over 40 years, I have to say that this particular cymbal is pretty darn good sounding. I have 2 Sabian HHX Ozone cymbals and I have to say that the Meinl HCS series of Ozone cymbals is very close to the quality of my Sabians. I would not hesitate to recommend this HCS cymbal to a professional or a beginning drummer. My only complaint is that the circular cutouts have rough edges. I would compare this cymbal to a high quality B8, hand hammered composition cymbal. If you are looking for an Ozone cymbal at a relatively decent price, I would have to say that this it the cymbal you want. ... show more

    • Awesome sound !
Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
Started to play this new cymbal on my kit last night. This trach/crash has a unique and prolonged sound to it. Highly recommend if you are looking for something unique. Usual high quality of Meinl cymbals, of which I have a few now. Would buy again - great value.

    • Tinny.
Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
Was looking for a trash can cymbal. The sound is okay, but has a ring that is tinny. If it didn't ring it would have been great. Tried tightening and loosening but you either lose the sound and the ring...or just reduce the ring as much as possible to keep the sound.

When I first purchased this cymbal I wasn't sure about it because it was only $70 but it's amazing. It sounds so good and is very durable. I bought it like 6 months ago and I use it every day and there is not even a single crack on it. It sounds great especially with my kit and I am very happy with this product! ... show more

Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
This Meinl 'trash crash' is off the hook! I love it! For the price you pay and the quality you receive, it is a must have in your arsenal! My first gig with it I received numerous compliments on the sound and the addition to my collection! It has a lot of characteristics of a China cymbal but not near as big or heavy. This 16" is really lightweight and has such a quick burst of sound! Get it. Peace. ... show more

    • Great bang for your buck!
Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
This is the first Meinl product I've bought and I absolutely love it. It's my favorite cymbal on the arsenal, so far. I'm aware that they offer a better selection of cymbals, but if you're on a budget and want something of quality, this is the way to go. I plan on investing some serious cash in the future for other Meinl cymbals. ... show more

    • More trash than crash
Style: Trash Crash Size: 16"
I had high hopes for this. I figured that a “trash” cymbal didn’t need to be expensive to sound decent. For context this was placed among Sabian, Zildjian, Istanbul,and paiste cymbals at my drumset. The initial sound is ok, but there’s something missing for me. Not enough projection to fit in with the better cymbals. I think I may give up on the trash crash idea for now, but if I were to look again I would probably check out the xist ion or one of the pricier sabians which I have heard and used before. I think this would work on a smaller kit with less capable cymbals around it though. In my context I felt that it wasn’t worth the money because it didn’t have much sound. ... show more
