Meinl 20" HCS Ride Reviews

One of the best brand and best sound

Great cheap ride

I am not a drummer and I use it just to spice up electronic drums but for that purpose it works and sound just fine! Nice tone from the bell and the body. Cuts through and can do crash sounds too.

I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

An amazing cheap and high quality ride cymbal. It's sound is different from what it sounds in this site and in youtube. It sounds way better when you hear it with your own ears. It's volume is high enough. The price is very low for such a great ride, the price is low for all the HCS parts.

I would prefer the bell to sound less brighter but still it sounds amazing.

Excellent ride for the money

I bought this approximately 5 months ago. So far it has been very good. My problem with the previous ride was that the sustain was definitely too long, the bell was too aggressive and overall it didn't work too well in a small live performance.

This one is just on the sweet spot. Some sustain, but not too much. Bell distinguishes itself withough going "DAAAAAAAAAAANG". Price is survivable.

Of course you are not going to find that super special quality you might want to find in a very particular ride from the higher range, but if you want something standard, pleasing and reliable to start from, this is it.
