Amazing cymbal, increibly pleased with it. It looks amazing, sounds amazing, and cannot be beaten for the price. My favorite ride cymbal, among zildjian's and sabians alike. (Paistes are a close 2nd)
I HIGHLY reccomend this ride!
It's beautiful! Just a great looking cymbal!
It sounds fantastic! I was skeptical at the price, despite all of the posititve reviews, but this thing showed me up. It sounds amazing, with a great ping, the bell is fantastic, and it has a deep, long sustaining crash that I love and use often. Amazing cymbal!
You can't get a better ride at this price, or for even 100 dollars more! This kicks Zildjian's ZBT line's butt.

I bought the Tama Imperialstar which comes with the Meinl HCS 14 hats, 16 crash, and 20 ride. They're great, but I noticed that the bell had a dent in it. I don't even play it that much; just sometimes hit it when I get bored practicing. It's probably better used as a crash. It serves the purpose well, though, and I don't think I'll be replacing it soon.

Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
After reading the reviews I thought, sure why not give it a shot. I'm sad I did. This thing barely gives off any sound, it sounds like I am playing on tin, the bell, even sounds flat. Very disappointed.
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
Just Bloody Fantastic!!! i bought this ride just a couple weeks ago and i'm obsessing on playing it. I just put this on my set and my mind was just blown! definately a great ride at an affordable price!
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
AWSOME RIDE! It can be used on any type of music!
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
I had been planning on buying my drum set and cymbals seperately to get the most for my money, but I was given a different set than I wanted, and it came with these cymbals (14HH, 16C, 20R, 10S). I wasnt expecting way too much out of these cymbals, but that ride grew on me in seconds and I've loved it ever since. It has a nice ping, a good amount of wash, and its ringy. If thats not your type of ride, this isnt for you, but I personally love it. Its durable, sounds nice, and when you crash it, it has a deep, dark tone that I love. The bell sounds awesome when hit with the sticks tip rather than the neck. It has a sweet, high pitched ping, but its not as loud as some other rides are. Works perfect for me. This cymbal kicks the living crap out of any Zildjian/Sabian/Paiste for a great price, even their high up lines. I've played A Customs, and I like this better. I completely recommend this to any beginner/intermediate player out there.
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
Really not too bad for the price. Great bell, nice washy sound. You have to beat the crap out of it if you want to crash on it to get a good sound, though. Very durable and kickes the crap out of Zildjian ZBT rides. Get it.
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
This ride is great. It goes good with double base. I have been playing for 3 years and it has lasted me two years and still going. It is great for its price and if its your first time looking for a ride i would suggest it.
Comments about Meinl HCS Ride Cymbal:
This came with a Rockstar kit I ordered last year. I was at first really disappointed, but it has grown on me. I concurr that it needs serious muffling to control the plethera of midrange overtones (i prefer a brighter sound in a ride) and it tends to ring out quite a bit. the bell is where this ride really suffers. Bell volume is below average, however the bell's tone is acceptable. I agreee you should mic it. Overall, this ride is a good in-between. it does the job I need it to do, and will serve well as I save for a better one. i plan on using it as an auxillary ride in the future.
