Soundwave Profile for Articulated Response

The HCS Soundwave Hi-Hat is designed for a precise and clearly audible hi-hat sound. Its tonal character is warm and harmonious, yet clean enough to cut through grooves. Especially when played open, the 14" hi-hat reveals an articulated open hi-hat sound that makes beats come alive and fits comfortably into band, practice and recording situations.

Medium Weight for Versatile Dynamics

With its medium weight the Meinl HCS14SWH offers a balanced mix of control, response and presence. It responds reliably to different playing styles and suits both closed patterns and semi-open accents. The pitch sits in the low-mid range, so the sound isn't too sharp but remains pleasantly round and musical.

MS63 Brass Alloy from the HCS Series

The hi-hat belongs to the Meinl HCS series and is made from MS63 brass. This alloy provides an attractive entry into the world of quality cymbals and offers a clearly defined sound at a fair price. Machine forming in Germany ensures even processing and matched sounds across the series.

Traditional Finish and Wide-Blade Lathing

Visually the Meinl HCS14SWH HCS Soundwave Hi-Hat 14" impresses with a classic traditional finish and wide-blade lathing.
