Meinl Percussion HCS 18-Inch Big Bell Ride Cymbal

The HCS Big Bell Ride is meant to be a compact ride with an oversized bell, giving it penetrating tones for heavier music. The bell is what really sets this cymbal apart, as it is a full volume, cutting bell sound that can act as another accent voice in your setup. It can easily be used as a ride for smoking patterns, or as a loud bell accent to grab attention. The 18-inch size makes this cymbal easy to control with sticks, and it blends in well with any other cymbals.
