I really love the sound of this cymbal. I own the 12" and I plan to buy some more. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this cymbal. It can definately take a bashing! This is my first splash and it is perfect for beginner to intermediate drummers. Don't let the price fool you, this is an amazing cymbal!

This is an awesome splash for the price. I've tried splash's for 5x this much money and this one sounds just as good. insane cymbal for a great price. what else could you want?

I've has this splash in the 10 inch for a few weeks now and although it's not one of the best splashes, it is great for the cost. Pretty durable so, short and fast decay and bright in tone. I recommend this splash for anyone on a budget or if it's your first splash cymbal. Meinl is a great company and make quality cymbals & for the cost these cymbals will do you fine. I'll continue to play this splash until I buy another more expensive splash from meinl.

This cymbal is absolutely awesome. I try to use this cymbal as much as i can when playing because it just sounds so sharp. It is very well made and i love it, and how can you not for the price. Overall it is a good cymbal for a great price.

Owned this cymbal for only 2 weeks and cracked it. Sounds pretty good, has good tone.

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

For the price it is a nice addition to your kit. A little thin sounding in comparison to some other splash cymbals I�ۡ���ve played but a great value. The tone is good for a cymbal of this price range. Overall a good choice for the price.

I have this splash (10 in) and also a Zildjian K splash and this splash sounds just as good. This is a cheaper splash and sounds pretty much equivalent to the $130 K splash that I have. Definitely worth the $$. It does have a deeper sound then some splashes.

I bought the 8 inch, because it was really cheap, and it was really worth it. I bought this cymbal a few months ago, and it is still in perfect condition. It has a few scratches on it that are barely noticable , and it works very well still, even though I beat it really hard. It has a pretty ring to it that dies out quickly, and you can hear it over the other cymbals. It has a china sound, and good when you want to use it as a cowbell. This is a really good cymbal, and I advise you to get it also.

Its an okay cymbal, based on reviews I bought it expecting it to be a pretty nice lil cymbal, but it just let me down. Oh yeah, It also didnt last 2 weeks and I dont even hit that hard

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

I got the 8" about a year ago because it was so cheap, but realized that you get what you pay for. It's quiet (even more so than I expected from a splash) and you really have to hit it hard to get any kind of brightness or bite out of it, other wise it just sounds like a rather pathetic gong. On the up side it is really durable, I use it a few times a week and a year after getting it there's still no sign of hairline cracks. I recommend spending the extra cash and going with a Zildjian ZBT splash or something for a more audible bite though.

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

Okay to good sound. But it's too quiet. It has very little sound. Wasn't really satisfied so I returned it. Great for the price though. Good for Beginners. But if I were you, I'd rather go and pick out a wuhan splash. They're like the same price. PS. It almost sounds like the splash Chris Adler uses in Laid to Rest. BUT MUCH QUIETER.

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

I want to start off saying that not every cymbal is going to have the exact same sound. With that being said I bought the 10" and i love it. It kind of has a cowbell sound but if you tap it lightly with the nylon tip it has a nice ring to it.

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

Its okay, but it needs some work. I bought the splash in February of 2015, and it cracked in June of 2017 and used it about another month before it started to really affect the sound, and went out and bought my S Zildjian splash. For the time, it wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't recommend using it outside the practice room. The whole thing sounds very tinny, and the sound is not at all balanced. It seems to have 2 pitches to it, and they don't harmonize well. I guess I can excuse it for the price, because it isn't that much, but I wouldn't buy it again. If you own a few drum sets, and one of them stays in your basement all the time and only gets used for rehearsals, it wouldn't be a bad addition (I guess) but I'd recommend to invest a little more and buy an Zbt Zildjian. It just doesn't really sound like a cymbal, let alone a splash. Otherwise, if you're on a tight budget, then it wouldn't be terrible to add to your kit, but take it with a grain of salt.

The cymbal had no brightness, or darkness to it. It just sounded like i was hitting a hollowed pipe. A Sabian B8X 8" splash is what i'm using to replace that cymbal, and it sounds amazing.

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

Sounds cheap to me but maybe it's just my ear. Either way I will find a use for it

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

Not much sound at all, can't even hear it while playing with my band. Very low quality for a maker that boasts to be one of the best. A true 'entry level' splash. Not good. Take your $20 and apply it to a quality Zildjian or Sabian splash.

Great cymbal sound at a modest price

Comments about Meinl HCS Splash Cymbal:

awesome splash especially for being a sheet cymbal. iv'e given this little 8" saucer a hammering since i purchased it 2 years ago and its got only one tiny dent on the bell, hardly visible. sounds better than any splash i have played. very highly recommended for beginners and seasoned drummers for the price and even more the sound and style.
