Meinl Cymbals HCS-FX HCS Cymbal Box Set Effects Pack with 10" Splash, 12" China, Plus a FREE Cymbal Stacker (VIDEO)

The cymbal sounds great. Nice rich sound stands out in my setup. Good for crash ride use. I love this cymbal and I always enjoy just hitting it then hearing the sound. It’s really something amazing. Then watching it move after I crash it, hearing the sound it makes. It’s sounds GREAT!

Awesome awesome awesome cymbal

Nice sound for the price very pleased. Now I want to c how they hold up.u could buy $1000, cymbal packs.or more . I'm going to use them on my next gig. .ride and bell nice crashes nice. China not bad . Splash not bad also . High hat .nice .

Bought a 16" and 18" Meinl cymbals. Well constructed and they really do beat the price all other brands for a pro tier cymbal. Make you wonder why those other guys charge so much!?Pros = Great price. Well made. Solid and durable. Look great. Can be used for various music styles.Cons = Seems I have to hit them harder than other cymbals to get the sound I want. Thus only 4 stars.I will come back and edit the con if I find I just need to hit it in a different manner or the like. I've only done 1 gig with them. I play gigs weekly.UPDATE: Having bought the 16" and 18" crashes, in playing medium to large venues now where I could lay into them more; YES they sound good. They don't sound like $400 cymbals but I would buy them again because they are good and solid. Also, I think they will last at least twice as long as my more pricey perfect sounding cymbals too!

I have been playing about a year and a half, and I might not be the most experienced player, but I know my stuff. This cymbal is well worth about 100$! For this price, you could get another good cymbal, but not with all of the qaulities of this cymbal. The Meinl 16" HCS Crash is a great cymbal for begginers or pros, it is extremley durable, loud, and tough. I beat the heck outta my cymbals, but i hit em the right way so they last, and this one especially puts up with a lot. An overall great buy, GET YOURSELF ONE!

The tone is so much crisper on the new Meinl 18" crash than the 20 year old one I finally beat into submission.

I just upgraded to a full acoustic set after playing electronic for a couple years - so I need all new cymbals to go with the kit - This pack was great - a great price for # of cymbals you get. Everything sounds great you can cover a bunch of different genre's with the cymbals included. Very happy!

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who's just dabbling in percussion, but I wanted to get a decent crash-ride cymbal to add that sound to my recording arsenal. I just finished recording several tracks with this and I'm very pleased with the results! Works well in a dual role as a ride and crash cymbal.I think if you're a serious drummer you might have some issues with it… there are some weird overtones and it tends to ring in a somewhat undesirable way, although that was easy to cut in my mix. But for an amateur or a student, DIY recording, bar gigs, etc. I think this is a great cymbal.
