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
