For an entry-level symbol it’s good for practice not for recording. Beat it up at a gig.

MEINL Are the only cymbals I use. This has a nice crisp accent, but.... Mine cracked, not any fault to the company quality. I just play fast and hard. It lasted about 5 months, so I made a 12 inch trash out of it. It's worth the money for jazz, blues, and soft rock.

This is a bright splash cymbal with mild sustain. It cuts nicely and then drops off quickly like any good accent cymbal should. It seems well-made for the price. I needed a solid economical splash cymbal for recording and this one seems to fit the bill nicely.

I had originally bought the 8" cymbal and I didn't get the sound I was looking for. It's a cute little cymbal. but wanted more of the sound, so I got the 12" and it's great. It's not the greatest sound, but for the price I'm happy with it. And it's shiny haha. If you're looking to add some variety in your set, then this cymbal is great for the price.

I own a Tama Imperialstar five-piece set, which included Meinl HCS cymbals - a 14" hi-hat pair, a 16" crash and a 20" ride. I wanted to add a splash, so this fit the bill perfectly. The 12" splash has a slightly deeper, richer tone than the smaller versions. In my opinion, it's perfect for rock and metal, but it would also work well for those playing jazz. This is an inexpensive, yet high-quality cymbal. For any drummer looking for an affordable way to expand their kit, you can't go wrong with the Meinl HCS 12" splash.

In a live environment with the rest of the band.....this does the job very well. A little trashy, not a typical sounding splash. If you don't want to worry about how hard you hit your splash buy this one. Seems solid, sounds great and it's shiny!!!! Thanks Meinl!

I order the Meinl Cymbals the one I received is great. But in the description it said Meinl Cymbals with an "s" meaning more than one. I was working with short time so you would have thought they would send a set of cymbals not just one so now I have to order another one and hope it gets here in time. Please change and show price for two cymbals not one.Thanks upset Mom
