• Includes top and bottom cymbals — the HCS 15” hihats are comprised of two cymbals that players mount on a pedal activated stand to play them with your sticks closed together or opened apart and with your foot to create a "chick" sound (stand not included)
• Hihats are the most important cymbals on a drum set — the main time keeping ingredients for drumming are bass drum, snare drum and hihat cymbals — together, these form the foundation of drum set playing for any style
• Designed for beginners and students — Meinl HCS cymbals are designed for beginner and student musicians using a durable brass alloy that maintains its tone while holding up to the brunt of drum sticks — these cymbals are ideal for any style of music
• Made in Germany — when you open the box, the first thing you will notice is these cymbals bear the exact same markings as professional Meinl cymbals — they feature the large Meinl stamp and a smaller laser engraved logo with the text “Made in Germany”
• Full range of sounds — unique to this price range, HCS cymbals offer all of the cymbal types and sizes normally found in professional set ups to beginners — from trash crashes and splashes to bells and chinas, any sound option is within reach

What’s the Benny Greb “Trash Hat” all about?: For many years now I have been looking for a trashier and more washy x-hat combination, but without losing attack when I need it. I also wanted a sound that is very unique, but that still blends in well with my other cymbals and hihat sounds. I experimented a lot…combining various splash and china cymbals of different sizes, thicknesses and materials. The final result is…snare roll please…tadaaaaah! My 12”/14” Trash Hat that I mostly use as an x-hat on my right, but can also be used on a regular hihat stand to create totally new sounds. Check it out! It’s perfect for adding a new color to your sound and inspires you to play new stuff. Give me feedback on how you’re using it. Stay creative!

The Meinl Pure Alloy hi-hats cover all dynamics from a quick, responding staccato to slight sizzle to full bodied energy.
