Meinl has a nearly 60 year old tradition of making high quality cymbals that are used, endorsed and even designed by some of the world's leading drummers in all musical forums.

Meinl's name recognition and acclaim are well deserved in the musical community. Many of the talented craftspeople and key personnel who work for Meinl are drummers themselves and have unique insight into what makes a great-sounding cymbal.

An ideal entry level cymbal, the ultra affordable Meinl HCS Crash Ride is like owning two cymbals in one. It delivers the rhythmic power of a ride along with the explosive accents of a crash.

The shimmering, high polished MS63 alloy ensures a harmonic and balanced sound that blends well with many types of musical genres.

It's not always easy to select the right cymbals for your set. But beginners who go with Meinl cymbals always get maximum value versatility from their cymbal collection.
