Meinl 12" HCS Trash Stacks

I absolutely have to praise Meinl for this affordable, interesting stack. It has become one of my favorites and has really opened up my phrasing, offering an additional Hi-Hat texture, played tight, the attack and tone is very similar to a 'Clap' effect. Personally, I prefer to have the nut just about finger tight, so they can move a bit more, offering a bit more of a 'wet' texture. Absolutely invaluable, super fun Cymbal.

This is a REALLY good stack, perfect addition to any kit.

Good sound, good quality and very happy that I bought them. The video of JP Bouvet helped me allot on take the decision for buy this entry-level quality cymbal stack.

Great build quality and great sound! Also sounds great if you decide to use the cymbals separately. An amazing deal value deal considering the price point. Definitely recommended!

Not as loud as my other cymbals but great for little accents.
And for this price there is little reason not to own one.

This small stack is a game changer in my drum set.
It just enlarges so much the capacity of sound in playing!
Sounds professional and at so low price! Simple “a must have” in your collection.

This stack is everything I expected from it. I bought it as a gift for my brother, but also had the pleasure of playing it myself. We're both very happy with the sound quality (snappy, dirty, but no nastiness to it). It brings a nice, contrasting sound to the rest of the cymbals on the drum kit (crashes, ride, china, hi-hat, bell).

My brother is so impressed with this stack that he has decided to include this cymbal in his live kit.

Build quality is superb, as is to be expected from Meinl.
