User questions & answers

Question:	what is the total weight of the cymbals
Answer:	I’m sorry, but I cannot remember the weight. But, I would like to inform you that the quality of the cymbles is excellent.
Question:	How many cymbals do they come with
Answer:	Pretty much everything you see in the pics. 20” ride 18” crash 16”crash 14” crash 14” hi hats 14” China 10” splash 8-10” bell 14” (or 16”) trash crash 9 total. I will say that for the money and a beginning set of cymbals it was worth it. Some of the crash cymbals seem kind of “tinny” when you hit them but all around they are pretty decent. The smaller crash cymbals have about as much speed on them as a good quality splash.
Question:	What colors do they come in
Answer:	Just brass
Question:	Good for metal
Answer:	I honestly give these cymbals a great review. That being said, you do get what you pay for. My band plays mostly alternative, hard rock and some metal (Black Sabbath covers) and they do the job.The ride and the bell are awesome. Seriously a nice sounding ride cymbal.The crash cymbals are ok but don't have a lot of sustain in my opinion.If you like using effects (bells, splashes, china, trash crash), this this is an amazing set. Gives you tons of options to customize your sound. The trash crash is my favorite, but unfortunately, the china sounds like hot garbage.Hope this helps! I really enjoy the whole set. I use a substitute china cymbal, however, because I can't get over how bad this one sounds.

The memory you'll never forget

This is the sweetest moment of all. The first time you sit down at a drum set is nothing short of life-changing. It's the kind of experience that stays with you forever, and it's no wonder why.

The way the hihats open and close, the fortress of toms and cymbals—it's mind opening, especially for young players. In this moment, your set has to feel just right.

Meinl HCS cymbals are crafted to deliver crystal clear sounds with major advantages that put you steps ahead. Here's how.

Hihat cymbals: the #1 most important cymbals for ANY drum set

If you're ready to play but don't have much direction or influence yet, you are going to want to begin with hihat cymbals. Hihats, along with bass and snare drum, form the most basic time-keeping "ingredients" needed for drum set playing. Hihats are a pair of cymbals mounted on a pedal activated stand that brings them in contact with each other (imagine a "chick" sound).

Meinl HCS hihats (sold as a pair) are specially weighted so the bottom cymbal is slightly heavier than the top cymbal.

Why does this matter?

Having the weight arranged this way enhances the crisp "chick" sound the hihats create while giving them a better feel. Look for the "top" and "bottom" stamps to know which goes where on your stand.

Available in 13" - 15" sizes for the most common personal preferences.

The ride cymbal: from jazz to rock, this cymbal is essential for playing any style of music

The ride cymbal is as important of a time-keeper cymbal as hihats (think of a "ping" sound), and it's often used with hihats to form a basic, starter cymbal set. Ride cymbals typically range from 20" - 22" in diameter, making them the largest cymbal in most setups.

When you're ready to add a ride to your set, we have a few options to carefully consider.

Our standard 20" ride is, by far, the most common type of ride cymbal and will perfectly suit any drummer. With its clean, bright sound and cutting bell (the raised cup in the center), the Meinl HCS ride fits all styles.

Our ride is also available as a 22" for players who prefer larger cymbals.

Crash/rides are also very popular, and we have models available in 18" and 20". This cymbal is a hybrid of a crash cymbal and a ride if you're looking to cover these sounds with one cymbal.

Crash cymbals: build your own unique setup or match your favorite pro

Crashes provide punch, flair, accents, energy, crescendos—you name it. In their most basic form, crash cymbals emphasize the first beat of a measure. They are struck with a glancing blow toward the edge together with a bass drum note. They're also great for playing big, rolling crescendos at the end of a song.

Meinl HCS crashes deliver a bold attack with a balanced sustain (ring), and their response fits with any volume level. Our standard crashes come in 14" - 18" sizes to accommodate any setup or style.

Most professionals have more than one crash in their kit for extra sound options, and HCS crashes come in a variety of sizes and sounds. Smaller HCS crash cymbals give you a high-pitched sound, while our larger crashes deliver a longer sustain with a lower pitch.

Personal preference will help you decide the right size and amount of crashes in your set, but having at least one crash with a hihat and ride is widely considered a basic "complete" set of cymbals.

Splash and effects cymbals: complex sounds outside the standard

HCS splash cymbals are great for adding flashes of cymbal sound where you want a quick response that fades away fast. These come in 8", 10" and 12" sizes.

One of our most popular effects cymbals is our trash crash. This crash cymbal features specially cut-out holes that increase trashiness and "dry" the cymbal out, meaning it reduces the ring. Available in 16" and 18" sizes. Trashy refers to a cymbal sound that is earthy, gritty and dirty.

The most common effects cymbal is the china. This cymbal features an upward facing lip around the edge that gives it a unique gong-like sound. HCS chinas range from 12" - 18".

Next, we have our trash stacks. These cymbals come in pairs and feature hole cut-outs for a sloshy effect when you stack them together on your stand. Great for power and energy. Sizes range from 12" - 16".

Finally, the HCS 8" bell is a great accompaniment to any kit with its ultra-long sustaining ring.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with all the necessary washers, felts and screws
Answer:	No. this is a cymbal pack only. You will have to visit a music store to get the necessary hardware.
Question:	What is the dimension of the box
Answer:	I personally don't have the box anymore brother, sorry. Maybe someone else can help. God Bless
Question:	What is the alloy ? are there bronze alloy b
Answer:	MS63 brass alloy (63% copper, 37% zinc)
Question:	Does it come with all the necessary washers, felts and screws
Answer:	No, they do not. But don't let that sway you away from these cymbals. I bought them for my kit at church and honestly, they sound like cymbals costing $100's of dollars each. I was amazed at the hi-hats. The sound was so musical when open and crisp when closed. Haven't downloaded any lessons as yet. Sticks are good to go. I don't think you can go wrong with these.

Classics Custom cymbals are recommended for most styles of music, including Metal, Rock, Pop, Fusion, and Studio.

• Included in the Classics Custom Dark bonus set — 14" dark hihats, 16" Dark Crash, 20" Dark Ride plus a FREE 18" Dark Crash
• Dark finish with extra hammering — a highly specialized finishing process leaves this cymbal with shadowy tones and plenty of volume - extra deep hammering adds complexity to its character by shaping warmth and dryness into its intense attack
• Explosive cymbals for power players — Classics Custom Dark cymbals open up to deliver an energetic drive at loud dynamics, making them a sure bet for high octane styles like rock and metal - made from B10 bronze alloy for power, precision and durability
• Made from B10 bronze alloy — Consisting of 90% copper and 10% tin, B10 bronze has a uniform sound that packs a punch and cuts through dense mixes easily - the natural color of the bronze comes through in the lathe marks that accent the dark finish
• A finish unlike any other — the dark finish is a part of the cymbal making process, not just a coating that can wear off overtime - the look will last a lifetime of playing, traveling and buffing (for those of us who want our gear looking brand new)

Sometimes brightness needs to be kept in check

We’ve all been there. Your energy is soaring. Maybe you're with a band, and everyone is really clicking, or you've reached the height of your practice session.

You hit the last chorus of the song, and it feels like it's time to rip open the roof above you.

There's no holding back now.

And once it's done, that's when it hits you—you aren't worn out because you haven't been playing through your cymbals. Your sticks may be chewed to pieces but you didn't lose touch with nuance and complexity along the way.

You sat comfortably on top of the mix with a serious punch but without overpowering with a glassy ring.

The best part? You're still ENERGIZED.

This is how we started making Classics Custom Dark cymbals. We put ourselves in the driver's seat and asked how we can get to this feeling. We wanted all the great things that come with power, along with a dialed-in sustain and a shadowy mosaic of complex sound.

Wave goodbye to bright overtones—it's going to get dark.

Classics Custom Dark Cymbals pack a punch. Period.

They are designed for players who need cymbals that cut with agility. They give you plenty of snap to be heard among a dense mix of electric guitars, while their presence echoes the darker nature of a deeply hammered cymbal.

The cymbals do this because of:

• Extra hammering — you'll notice some of the craters are DEEP (hammering darkens and dries the sound while adding tonal complexity)
• Additional lathing — bands of exposed brightly colored bronze accent the dark finish to help dial-in overtones
• The use of B10 bronze — a solid, reliable and loud alloy that doesn't sound choked when you lay into it

Chameleon hihats

Great for players who rely heavily on switching dynamics or styles, Classics Custom Dark hihats have a unique ability to go from rock and metal to fusion and funk.

When energy calls, these hats jump to life and chop through loud mixes without you having to extrude your sound.

If you're in the mood for more subdued 8th note laid-back grooves, these hats will sit back nicely in the mix and play with a flexible feel.

Available in 14" - 16" sizes.

Explosive rides with an edgy, dark tone

You've heard it a thousand times. "A ride that cuts with a nice wash." But maybe you haven't heard about a ride with diamond-like definition and a shadowy, brooding roar.

Fluff veiled in clever adjectives?

Hardly.

Accommodating opposite ends of the spectrum — cutting definition met with darkness and dryness — Classics Custom Dark Rides by Meinl really are the package deal of rides.

Available in 20" - 22" sizes or as a 22" crash/ride.

Punchy splash cymbals

Let's talk about inflection. Whether you're a stand-up comedian or a drummer, communicating it is key to a great performance.

Even with the volume at ELEVEN, nuance must charge through.

And when the neighboring stack of amps begs to differ, you need the right tool to throw a little zest into the impenetrable mix.

We offer a variety of splashes, trash splashes, trash stacks, trash crashes and chinas within Classics Custom Dark to give you plenty of options to outfit your kit with accent cymbals that speak up.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the bottom hi hat heavier than the top hi hat
Answer:	no, go for the zildjian zbt 22 ride for only 129.00. beats this cymbal to death. Plus, I would not order a cymbal from amazon because they package extremely poorly, and I returned the one I tried to buy because of the poor packaging and the cymbal got a nasty "ding" on the edge when it was dropped. Never will I buy a "fragile" musical piece from amazon because of the poor packaging. last time was a drum head. was crushed because of poor packaging. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does it come with felts
Answer:	No it doesn't come with felts
Question:	Do the hi hats come with a clutch
Answer:	No, the ride cymbals don't.
Question:	Are they as good as Sabian if not better perhaps
Answer:	spend money on a top of line cymbal. Go with a zildjian 20 inch A ride, or go with a ZBT 22 inch ride, excellent cymbal for $129.00. the sabian sbr sounds tinny and cheap.

The memory you'll never forget

This is the sweetest moment of all. The first time you sit down at a drum set is nothing short of life-changing. It's the kind of experience that stays with you forever, and it's no wonder why.

The way the hihats open and close, the fortress of toms and cymbals—it's mind opening, especially for young players. In this moment, your set has to feel just right.

Meinl HCS cymbals are crafted to deliver crystal clear sounds with major advantages that put you steps ahead. Here's how.

Hihat cymbals: the #1 most important cymbals for ANY drum set

If you're ready to play but don't have much direction or influence yet, you are going to want to begin with hihat cymbals. Hihats, along with bass and snare drum, form the most basic time-keeping "ingredients" needed for drum set playing. Hihats are a pair of cymbals mounted on a pedal activated stand that brings them in contact with each other (imagine a "chick" sound).

Meinl HCS hihats (sold as a pair) are specially weighted so the bottom cymbal is slightly heavier than the top cymbal.

Why does this matter?

Having the weight arranged this way enhances the crisp "chick" sound the hihats create while giving them a better feel. Look for the "top" and "bottom" stamps to know which goes where on your stand.

Available in 13" - 15" sizes for the most common personal preferences.

The ride cymbal: from jazz to rock, this cymbal is essential for playing any style of music

The ride cymbal is as important of a time-keeper cymbal as hihats (think of a "ping" sound), and it's often used with hihats to form a basic, starter cymbal set. Ride cymbals typically range from 20" - 22" in diameter, making them the largest cymbal in most setups.

When you're ready to add a ride to your set, we have a few options to carefully consider.

Our standard 20" ride is, by far, the most common type of ride cymbal and will perfectly suit any drummer. With its clean, bright sound and cutting bell (the raised cup in the center), the Meinl HCS ride fits all styles.

Our ride is also available as a 22" for players who prefer larger cymbals.

Crash/rides are also very popular, and we have models available in 18" and 20". This cymbal is a hybrid of a crash cymbal and a ride if you're looking to cover these sounds with one cymbal.

Crash cymbals: build your own unique setup or match your favorite pro

Crashes provide punch, flair, accents, energy, crescendos—you name it. In their most basic form, crash cymbals emphasize the first beat of a measure. They are struck with a glancing blow toward the edge together with a bass drum note. They're also great for playing big, rolling crescendos at the end of a song.

Meinl HCS crashes deliver a bold attack with a balanced sustain (ring), and their response fits with any volume level. Our standard crashes come in 14" - 18" sizes to accommodate any setup or style.

Most professionals have more than one crash in their kit for extra sound options, and HCS crashes come in a variety of sizes and sounds. Smaller HCS crash cymbals give you a high-pitched sound, while our larger crashes deliver a longer sustain with a lower pitch.

Personal preference will help you decide the right size and amount of crashes in your set, but having at least one crash with a hihat and ride is widely considered a basic "complete" set of cymbals.

Splash and effects cymbals: complex sounds outside the standard

HCS splash cymbals are great for adding flashes of cymbal sound where you want a quick response that fades away fast. These come in 8", 10" and 12" sizes.

One of our most popular effects cymbals is our trash crash. This crash cymbal features specially cut-out holes that increase trashiness and "dry" the cymbal out, meaning it reduces the ring. Available in 16" and 18" sizes. Trashy refers to a cymbal sound that is earthy, gritty and dirty.

The most common effects cymbal is the china. This cymbal features an upward facing lip around the edge that gives it a unique gong-like sound. HCS chinas range from 12" - 18".

Next, we have our trash stacks. These cymbals come in pairs and feature hole cut-outs for a sloshy effect when you stack them together on your stand. Great for power and energy. Sizes range from 12" - 16".

Finally, the HCS 8" bell is a great accompaniment to any kit with its ultra-long sustaining ring.

Question:	The product description says that the cymbal is 3x3x3. Is this a mistake or is it actually a 3" ride cymbal

Question:	Do these have good sound
Answer:	Yes very good sound

Product description

This cymbal package includes a set of 14" matched hi-hats, a 16" crash, and a 20" ride. In the past, cymbals designated as "entry level" have been made of low-cost alloy manufactured in sheets, and they were cut from these sheets and shaped on machine presses. The resulting cymbals were, in fact, low in price. But they were also little more than serviceable targets for practice purposes. They simply had nothing to offer in ...the way of sound. That's all changed with the introduction of the new 457 series by Wuhan. These entry-level cymbals offer great looks, low price...and exceptional sound quality. The new 457 cymbals were created by drummer/designers in the U.S., and are hand-made to their exacting specifications by skilled craftsmen in China. They feature an alloy of 92% copper and 8% tin, which provides dramatically superior sound and durability compared to other entry-level cymbals made of cheaper alloys. In addition, where other "sheet cymbals" are machine-stamped into shape, 457 cymbals are hand-hammered to give them a great sound for the entry-level player. A brilliant finish completes the professional image of this new line.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the thread pitch of this wing nut. I'm looking for a 1/4"x20 tpi quick release wing nut
Answer:	Hello, The TPI does not matter, the diameter of the cymbal stand stud in the threaded area is the main factor.I have 2 sizes of stands, Diameters = .310 and .250 at the threaded area.The Tama Quick sets work well for either. I have had the Quicks for over a year now. They work great. Only complaint is,if you drop one on a dark stage, they are hard to locate.Ha.Rock On.
Question:	This is compatible with others stands or hardwares like a pearl or Gibraltar
Answer:	They are compatible with any brand but not with any size cymbal holder. I have an old Tama stand from the 80s and the cymbal holder (the part with the threading) is too narrow. But they should fit most modern stands, they fit perfect on my current PDP and Yamaha stands.
Question:	Will this work on M8 1.25 (coarse thread) bolt? And is the the part part that connects with/grips the bolt metal
Answer:	I don´t know if it will work on the M8 1.25. What i can say is that it´s all plastic. Good Luck.
Question:	I'm assuming this will work on DW Hardware
Answer:	I used them on 3 or 4 different manufacturers of stands including DW. Didn't work well on any of them. They pop off too easy. Initially I tried it on my ride but when trying to cinch it down, the plastic just gave & it wouldn't even hold the cymbal at an angle. Then I thought, ok, I'll just use it for quick install of my crashes (which I keep pretty loose anyway). No bueno. They easily popped off after 2 or 3 songs & I'd have to find them. I'm playing rock but I'm not a heavy hitter. I wish they did work, but they don't. Save your money. Afterall, we don't get paid squat anyway ;-)
