Meinl HCS Practice Cymbals

Meinl HCS Practice Cymbals allow you to play at full volume without disturbing those around you. This set includes 14� hihats (pair), 16� crash, and 20� ride, giving you a real cymbal feel and reaction at a reduced volume. Made with a durable brass alloy, these cymbals offer an enjoyable, musical tone from edge to bell and are designed to last. The unique hole pattern reduces weight and vibration through the brass, lowering volume without compromising tone quality.

• PLAY AT CONVERSATION LEVEL: Meinl HCS Practice Cymbals give you real cymbal feel and tone at a fraction of the volume; practice full out any time of day in just about any space without disturbing people (this set includes 14" hihat, 16" crash, 20" ride)
• WHY IT MATTERS: you get to practice more so you improve faster; plus, HCS Practice Cymbals feel like a real setup, so your muscle memory won't be out of touch when you switch to your main kit
• REALITY CHECK: we make these with the same durable brass alloy as our standard HCS cymbals so you get an enjoyable, musical tone from edge to bell; other companies use cheaper alloys like stainless steel (also made with stainless: pots and pans)
• HOW IT WORKS: our hole pattern knocks off weight and interrupts vibration through the brass to bring volume down without shortchanging tone quality; it boils down to less cymbal material�> less noise�> NOT a lesser tone
• ONE TAKEAWAY: these play like real cymbals with significantly reduced volume, but they aren't made to be pin drop silent; they do let you fully engage during practice without terrorizing your dog or neighbors with sound
• ZOOM IN: you can study your timing, accuracy, and dynamics on HCS Practice Cymbals in high definition; get instant feedback from the cymbal with sound and touch worlds better than a rubber mute stuck over your favorite ride can do
• THE BOTTOM LINE: your neighbors will be happy, your ears will stop ringing, and your ability will only go up; plus, you can play these cymbals at quieter gigs on a compact kit or with a cajon so you don�t have to worry about overtaking the mix
