Take control of your groove with the MEINL 20″ HCS Dark Ride Cymbal. It delivers a strong ping, a clear bell, and a controlled wash. As a result, you get defined stick articulation without excessive shimmering sustain. Its dark finish also gives your drum kit a distinctive look.
Strong Ping and Clear Bell
The MEINL HCS Dark 20″ Ride Cymbal provides a clear ping for consistent timekeeping. In addition, its defined bell produces distinct accents when you need extra emphasis. This combination makes it easier to maintain a steady groove while adding character to your playing.
The underlying wash adds depth without overpowering the stick sound. Furthermore, the short sustain helps keep your cymbal patterns controlled. These qualities make the ride a practical choice for rock and pop music.
Defined Mid-Dark Sound

The medium-weight design offers versatility for everyday drumming. Use the ride for steady patterns, then switch to the clear bell for stronger accents and transitions.
Distinctive Dark Finish and German Manufacturing
The HCS Dark series combines an eye-catching dark finish with practical performance and excellent value. The cymbal is made from MS63 alloy and shaped using MEINL’s Pressure Point Technology. It also features Wide Blade lathing.
