The MEINL HCS Bronze medium ride cymbal has an extremely balanced feel with a full, warm sound. It features a clear ping over an even, shimmering wash, with a medium bell. As part of the HCS series, this ride 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.
