This full range of HCS brass cymbals will complete your drum set with every essential, and the effect cymbals are designed to cue in serious sound. Included in this one stop Ultimate Set are a 14" Hi Hat pair, 20" Ride, 14" Crash, 16" Crash, 18" Crash, 14" China, 8" Bell, 10" Splash, Plus a free 16" Trash crash. The Hi Hats have a crisp "chick" With a nice slosh when played open while the ride cymbal delivers a well-defined "ping" And a cutting bell without distracting overtones. Hcs crashes respond with a warm attack followed by a medium sustain. The China is ideal for adding cutting accents with a sharp, sinister sound. Use the bell for a light and bright sonic alternative with a long sustain. The 10" Splash cymbal is a standard and ideal for quick accents or spicing up fills. For a truly unique effect, dig in with the free 16" Trash crash. Its specially cut holes take a normal crash sound and shorten its sustain while adding a blend of trashy tones that can really change the dynamic of your playing. This full range of cymbals allows you to experiment with different set ups to find your own personal musical touch and appearance on the drums. Stack the splashes and bell inverted over the larger cymbals to eliminate the need for other stands while reaching the look of a professional. Hcs cymbals are crafted in Germany with a durable brass alloy that has a responsive touch with an unmatched sound quality in this range. Geared towards beginners, Meinl HCS cymbals stand up to the brunt of sticks while maintaining their musical tone. ## Features - UPGRADE FROM STOCK CYMBALS: replaces the flimsy cymbals most entry-level kits includeβ€”Meinl HCS sounds real and feels solid - WHY IT MATTERS: better sound makes practice more funβ€”and durable brass stands up to regular playing - WHAT'S IN THE BOX: Ultimate Set includes 14" hihats (top and bottom), a 20" ride, 14", 16” and 18” crashes, a 14" china, 8" bell, 10" splash, plus a FREE 16" trash crash; this huge selection gives you ultimate creative freedom - MADE IN GERMANY: German brass delivers a bright, clean sound without harsh ringing - WHY CHOOSE HCS: built by the same team behind Meinl's professional cymbals, so you get reliable quality from the same craftsmanship trusted by professionals worldwide - ZOOM IN: precision lathe grooves and hammer marks create a polished look and help shape a more musical sound - ROOM TO EXPAND: from hihats, crashes, and rides to effects cymbals and stacks in multiple sizes, Meinl HCS lets you build a setup that grows with your skills and style - BOTTOM LINE: German-made entry-level cymbals with musical sound, lasting durability, premium feel, and all-style versatility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QYUVO0U | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,819 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #36 in Cymbal Hi-Hat Stands | | Body Material | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Brand Name | Meinl Percussion | | Color | Traditional finish | | Connector Type | screw | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (251) | | Finish Type | brass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840553014457 | | Included Components | CRASHES: 14"/16"/18", EFFECTS: 8" bell, 14" china, 16" trash crash, HIHATS AND RIDE: 14" hihats, 20" ride, SPLASH: 10" | | Item Dimensions | 22 x 22 x 3 inches | | Item Highlight | Hihats, Ride, Crashes, Trash Crash, China, Splash, Bell β€” Durable Brass Alloy, Bright & Musical Sound, Beginner Friendly | | Item Type Name | HCS Ultimate Cymbal Set Box Pack for Drums with Hihats, Ride, Crashes, China, Splash, Bell and FREE 16” Trash Crash β€” MADE IN GERMANY β€” Durable Brass, 2-YEAR WARRANTY | | Item Weight | 18 pounds | | Manufacturer | Meinl USA L.C. | | Material | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Model Name | Ultimate Set | | Model Number | HCS-SCS1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | HCS-SCS1 | | UPC | 840553014457 | | Warranty Description | 2-year meinl warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Meinl Percussion - **Color:** Traditional finish - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 22 x 22 x 3 inches - **Material:** MS63 Brass Alloy - **Model Name:** Ultimate Set ## Images ![Meinl Cymbals HCS Box Set Cymbals for Drums β€” MADE IN GERMANY - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ki59CDmIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Good for metal?** A: I honestly give these cymbals a great review. That being said, you do get what you pay for. My band plays mostly alternative, hard rock and some metal (Black Sabbath covers) and they do the job.The ride and the bell are awesome. Seriously a nice sounding ride cymbal.The crash cymbals are ok but don't have a lot of sustain in my opinion.If you like using effects (bells, splashes, china, trash crash), this this is an amazing set. Gives you tons of options to customize your sound. The trash crash is my favorite, but unfortunately, the china sounds like hot garbage.Hope this helps! I really enjoy the whole set. I use a substitute china cymbal, however, because I can't get over how bad this one sounds. **Q: What colors do they come in** A: Just brass **Q: How many cymbals do they come with?** A: Pretty much everything you see in the pics. 20” ride 18” crash 16”crash 14” crash 14” hi hats 14” China 10” splash 8-10” bell 14” (or 16”) trash crash 9 total. I will say that for the money and a beginning set of cymbals it was worth it. Some of the crash cymbals seem kind of β€œtinny” when you hit them but all around they are pretty decent. The smaller crash cymbals have about as much speed on them as a good quality splash. **Q: what is the total weight of the cymbals ?** A: I’m sorry, but I cannot remember the weight. But, I would like to inform you that the quality of the cymbles is excellent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Meinl Cymbals HCS Ultimate Cymbal Set Box Pack for Drums with Hihats, Ride, China, Splash, Bell and Free 16” Trash Crash β€” Made in Germany β€” Durable Brass, 2-Year Warranty SCS1 - 4-PACK Cymbal Boom Stand & Straight Cymbal Stand Combo Set by GRIFFIN | Percussion Drum Hardware Kit for Mounting & Holding Crash, Ride, Splash Cymbals | Arm Counterweight Adapter & Double Braced Legs - Facmogu 23PCS Cymbal Replacement Accessories, Cymbal Stand Felts, Drum Felt Pads Include Wing Nuts, Washers, Sleeves & Drum Key Accessory Set - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12857818-meinl-cymbals-hcs-box-set-cymbals-for-drums-made-in](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12857818-meinl-cymbals-hcs-box-set-cymbals-for-drums-made-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
