Dual Crash and Ride Functionality – MEINL 18″ HCS Crash-Ride Cymbal
The MEINL 18″ HCS Crash-Ride Cymbal combines crash and ride performance in one cymbal. It allows you to switch easily between riding patterns and accent crashes. As a result, it works well in compact drum setups.
Balanced Tone with Fast Response
This cymbal produces a balanced sound with clear articulation. In addition, the slightly smaller size gives it a faster response compared to larger crash-rides. Therefore, it feels more responsive during quick playing.
Clear Stick Definition with Crash Flexibility

Durable Brass Alloy Construction
Meinl Cymbals manufactures this cymbal from brass alloy. This construction ensures durability and consistent performance over time.
Controlled Sustain and Practical Volume
The cymbal delivers a controlled sustain that supports both ride and crash use. Moreover, it produces a practical volume level suitable for practice and rehearsal.
Ideal for Beginners and Compact Setups
This crash-ride is a strong choice for beginner drummers. It also suits smaller kits and practice environments where versatility is essential.
