The MEINL HCS bronze trash crash is a hybrid crash/effects cymbal that features a thin weight and series of cut-outs. The holes are cut to different sizes for a trashy attack, complex tone and quick decay. It’s a unique effects cymbal at a price beginners can afford. As part of the HCS series, this trash crash 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.
