Review: Great - This is a great cymbal, i got this for my brother as he got a new beginners drum kit. The cymbals with the kit were really poor so i got one of these to enhance the kit and it sounds fantastic. You can clearly see it is designed well and the sound is great. This is a great mid-range product. There is also another set of this brand which includes a Crash and Hi-Hats so your able to get a collection and they sound great.
Review: Great - Got this when buying the 3 cymbal Meinl set. Great addition for the price. Now considering buying this HCS range in splash and china variations. If you want cymbals that sound pretty good, for an excellent price, these will be ideal Even if you're a more 'serious' drummer, they would be worth getting if only for practice sessions.
