Meinl 18” Crash Cymbal – HCS Traditional Finish Brass for Drum Set, Made In Germany, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (HCS18C)

Incredible sound. Far superior to the two 16 inch crash cymbals that came with my Pearl Road Show kit! Incredible difference and performance!

Excellent quality cymbal for the price I wanted to spend. It has a deep solid sound as opposed to a 'clanky' crash, which is what I was looking for in an 18" Cymbal; nicely compliments the 14" I already own. The bell is rounded nicely and has a good sound. Solid construction overall, and shipping was prompt and packaging was perfect.

Sounds great for e money

This cymbal really has a nice tone for the price. Compared to its 16” counterpart, it sounds deep and full. It’s definitely a great starter cymbal.

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!

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!

I bought this 18" crash cymbal to replace an original cymbal that came with my drum set. This Meinl cymbal sounds awesome, much better than the old cymbal I had. It is of much higher quality and I look forward to using it for years to come.

Came in great shape and no problems with packaging or shipping. Has an excellent bell and would work great as a small ride. But this serves as a poor crash cymbal unless you're looking for a thick gong-like sound. I've learned its very tricky trying to order cymbals online to match personal tastes.

Material de qualidade e chegou antes do previsto🙏

Sounds goo, great value

Très belle cymbale arrivée en excellent état. Super son pour un petit prix !

Parfait

Für den Preis erwartet man eigentlich minderwertigere Qualität. Nach Auspacken des Beckens (war wie immer perfekt verpackt) und anbringen an den Beckenständer wurde es von mir sofort ausprobiert. Der Klang ist angenehm aber trotzdem mit einem richtigen "Wumms". Auch nach mehrmaligem spielen hat sich bisher keine Veränderung ergeben. Für den Preis eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
