I purchased the HCS 20" ride cymbal for my son. He's a newer drummer, but started needing something more than the crash he had. This appeared to be a great value for a branded 20" ride. This arrived well wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap and had no damage. After getting it setup on the stand, sound was just OK. Not horrible, but certainly not Turkish bronze either. Good enough for a little kid to learn how to tap a ride, play the bell, and figure how to work it into his playing. This is an entry level cymbal and we didn't expect anything amazing, but I was hoping for a little better sound. Unfortunately it has a thin sound that isn't very impressive. That said, this was very cheap and it does the job for which it was intended.

I was a little skeptical about this purchased because of the little price tag of this snare, but the restrained budget push me to get this instead of the more expensive version in B20 bronze. One good thing about Meinl is that in thier site tou get information about the cymbals regarding their brightness, darkness, material, weight, pith and volume. I was looking for a low-mid volume ride, but at the same time it had to be on the bright side. This ride fits the bill perfectly. You won't regret buying this cymbal!!!! I don't know how they make this high quality ride at this price.
This is my first drum set and I am on a budget. A will never pay 500 dollars for a single ride cymbal. Even though this Menil ride is kind of shallow and tinny sounnding, I am just learning and am willing to put up with that. It even makes me pay closer attention to where on the cymbal I am hitting and how hard (since some places on this cymbal sound absolutely awful). Overall, this is what I was willing to pay for a ride cymbal and I am perfectly satisfied with the below average performance of this cymbal because I am using it at rehearsal only. When we have gigs I will borrow the other drummers' cymbals and leave my Meinls at home!lol
just what i neede........find me a 22 inch............
