Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The hi hat cymbals and the ride cymbal sit well in a range of musical styles, but the crash cymbal is a little ‘pokey’. It doesn’t offer as smooth sounds as the others in the Meinl HCS cymbal pack.
Personally I wish the 16” crash cymbal offered a more refined sound overall, it does have some dissonant harmonics."
