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 one 14" crash cymbal; this crash cuts through music with a clear attack and balanced sustain that doesn't linger too long; it delivers exceptional punch to accent the beat, and it blends with all other HCS crash sizes
- 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: this is a German made, top-quality entry level cymbal that resembles more high-end models with its crisp, bright tone and musical feel; it has a long lifespan, even for hard hitters, and fits any musical style
Description
These Brass alloy models sound and look great, and let you get into playing Meinl at very realistic prices. The HCS series from Meinl cymbals 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 working drummer may look for. The HCS 14" Crash provides a warm crash sound with a shorter sustain that is perfect for quick crash accents. Bigger than a splash, but not quite as heavy as the larger models, The 14" Size is the perfect middle ground to blend colorful cymbal accents into your playing. Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound.

I was a bit skeptical at first when I saw the price but that's what I get for being a skeptic because this cymbal set is fantastic!!! The cymbals sound amazing, they are strong but not too thick so I get the crisp bright sound that I personally like in cymbals, the set comes with a free pair of sticks and 3 free online lessons, I mean.....what more do you want and for only $99.00!!! I've never played Meinl brand cymbals before and like most people, I'm on a budget and anyone who is as passionate about music as I am, knows that it's a very expensive passion to have, especially being a drummer, so for me to receive everything that comes in the package, for only $99.00 and to have the sound that they have, is unbeatable! I looked at some cymbal box sets from other companies and nobody even comes close to Meinl's price and nobody else had as much product in one package deal either. I'm ready to start buying some more Meinl cymbals to complete my drum kit!Meinl Cymbals HCS1314+10S HCS Pack Cymbal Box Set with 13-Inch Hi Hats, 14-Inch Crash, Plus FREE 10-Inch Splash Cymbal, FREE Sticks, and FREE Lessons (VIDEO)

40 year player, 10 year hiatus, wife wanted a set, we both win. Hi hats are really clean and short, better than average, good bite . Crash is a standard rock crash with good harmonics and depth. The "free" 10" splash is crisp and fits well tonally with the others. This collection is really incredible for the price. I needed a set of cymbals for a practice set/jam set. When I saw these for under a hundred bucks, I thought I would try them because the reviews were great. There is a reason for this. These cymbals sound great. They are matched, so they sound well together. I can't stress how good these sound. These do not feel cheap like some others I have seen. Nice and solid with deep grooves and a bright finish. If your reading this, then you will eventually come back and buy these. You're welcome.

Personally, I was very disappointed when I first heard it. It sounded like a trash-can lid. However, after you break it in, it starts to sound more pleasing. It is what it is: a $35 crash. It's not comparable to even low-end Zildjian cymbals in my opinion, but if you need a crash to fill the role so you can keep your skills up and you don't care all that much about tone, this is as good a value as you can find. Would I buy it again? No. I am not a drummer, but primarily a guitarist, and its sound is beneath even my standards for what is acceptable. But, it was worth a try because it seemed very well rated and I don't gig or anything. So for now, I'm glad I bought it.
