The HCS series from Meinl cymbals is designed to offer all of the cymbal types and sizes normally found in professional lines to beginners, in order to deliver the same sound options a working drummer may look for. The HCS 14" Crash provides a warm crash sound with a shorter sustain that is perfect for quick crash accents. Bigger than a splash, but not quite as heavy as the larger models, The 14" Size is the perfect middle ground to blend colorful cymbal accents into your playing. Meinl HCS cymbals are recommended for any style of music a beginner may be getting into while exploring their sound. Review: sound and quality - the 14” crash sounds good and is good quality. looks really good on my kit Review: Cheap price, decent sound. 8/10 would bang again - A lot of the reviews for this are divided. "Oh, it sounds great," and "sounds like a s***ty gong" come to mind. I bought it anyways. It is definitely a cheap buy, and still looks like an amazing cymbal. As for sound, it does sound pretty crappy. But it's still a great buy for beginner drummers, or drummer who just like to jam out in their basements/garage. Once you start to get a gig or two, you should consider going with a better cymbal UPDATE: I've had the cymbal for about 1.5 years, and it's cracked to the point where I can't play it anymore. It's MOST likely because of the way I've been hitting it, and NOT because of crappy manufacturing. As I look at my old review I think I was a bit critical. I've grown to love the bright sound of this cymbal, and will probably buy another one ## Features - UPGRADE FROM STOCK CYMBALS: replaces the flimsy cymbals most entry-level kits include—Meinl HCS sounds real and feels solid - WHY IT MATTERS: better sound makes practice more fun—and durable brass stands up to regular playing - 14" CRASH: bright hit with controlled sustain that doesn't ring too long—adds punchy accents and pairs well with other HCS crash sizes - 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 | B000V0GTAO | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,662 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #17 in Crash Cymbals | | Body Material | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Brand | Meinl Percussion | | Brand Name | Meinl Percussion | | Color | Brass | | Connector Type | screw | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,025 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840553005042 | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 14.17 x 14.17 x 0.79 inches | | Item Highlight | Durable Brass Alloy, Bright & Musical Sound, Beginner Friendly — Made by the Same Team as Meinl's Pro Cymbals | | Item Type Name | HCS 14" Crash Cymbal for Drum Set — MADE IN GERMANY — Traditional Medium Brass, 2-YEAR WARRANTY | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 14.17 x 14.17 x 0.79 inches | | Manufacturer | Meinl USA L.C. | | Material | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Model Name | Crash | | Model Number | Meinl HCS 14" Crash | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | HCS14C | | Set Name | HCS | | Sound Profile | Medium-Bright | | UPC | 840553005042 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 years. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Meinl Percussion - **Color:** Brass - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 14.17 x 14.17 x 0.79 inches - **Material:** MS63 Brass Alloy - **Model Name:** Crash ## Images ![Meinl Cymbals Crash Cymbal for Drums, 14" HCS — MADE IN GERMANY - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jCvybcSKL.jpg) ![Meinl Cymbals Crash Cymbal for Drums, 14" HCS — MADE IN GERMANY - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915Ai4cF+4L.jpg) ![Meinl Cymbals Crash Cymbal for Drums, 14" HCS — MADE IN GERMANY - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K9VTpVN4L.jpg) ![Meinl Cymbals Crash Cymbal for Drums, 14" HCS — MADE IN GERMANY - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sSjBTtG4L.jpg) ![Meinl Cymbals Crash Cymbal for Drums, 14" HCS — MADE IN GERMANY - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xcFmUNfOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a video VCR that for sale** A: As the other answer said, no, it's a cymbal. **Q: Does this come as a set?** A: Just a single Cymbal, they make box sets with more cymbals.
