Nice, Bright Ride

I was looking for a ride with a little brighter sound to go with my 20" ride. This cymbal has great stick definition, but it can ring on for quite a while. Overall, a great addition to my kit!

Nice, Bright Ride

By RUSSELL C.

I was looking for a ride with a little brighter sound to go with my 20" ride. This cymbal has great stick definition, but it can ring on for quite a while. Overall, a great addition to my kit!

After careful crafting in Germany's state-of-the-art facilities, the Meinl HCS 20" Ride Cymbal emerges as a shining example of superior percussion instrument design. This medium-weight, traditional finish cymbal boasts a glossy appearance that is as visually appealing as its sound is audibly captivating.

Renowned for its clean, warm sound, the Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal delivers a defined ping and a resonant bell tone, making it a versatile choice for all musical situations. Whether you're playing rock, jazz, or pop, this ride cymbal's bright sound and sturdy construction ensure it can handle any performance with ease.

As a crucial time-keeping cymbal, akin to Hi-Hats, the Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal is often paired with Hi-Hats to form a basic, starter cymbal set. This 20" ride cymbal, the most common type, is an excellent addition to any drummer's set, thanks to its cutting bell - the raised cup in the center - that fits all styles.

Made from a durable and musical brass alloy, these cymbals respond with a clear tone and balanced sustain, making them ideal for beginner students and teachers outfitting their kits for a lesson studio.
