You'll get real cymbal feel and reaction at a fraction of the volume. When you get to practice more, you improve faster, and since these Practice Cymbals feel like a real setup, your muscle memory won't be out of touch when you switch to your actual kit. MEINL makes these with the same durable brass alloy as their standard HCS cymbals, so you get an enjoyable, musical tone from edge to bell. And they're made to last. Other companies use cheaper alloys like stainless steel to make practice/quiet cymbals. Their hole pattern knocks off weight and interrupts vibration through the brass to bring volume down in a way that doesn't shortchange tone quality. It boils down to less cymbal material—> less noise—> NOT a lesser tone. One takeaway is these play like real cymbals with significantly reduced volume, but they aren't made to be pin drop silent. These cymbals let you fully engage during practice without terrorizing your dog or neighbors with sound. You can study your timing, accuracy and dynamics on HCS Practice Cymbals in high definition. Get instant feedback from the cymbal with sound and touch worlds better than a rubber mute stuck over your favorite ride can do. Your neighbors will be happy, your ears will stop ringing and your ability will only go up. Plus, you can play these cymbals at quieter gigs on a compact kit or with a cajon, so you don’t have to worry about overtaking the mix. Meinl HCS Practice Cymbals give you real cymbal feel and tone at a fraction of the volume. So, practice full out any time of day in just about any space without worrying about disturbing people around you. You get to practice more so you improve faster. Plus, HCS Practice Cymbals feel like a real setup, so your muscle, memory won't be out of touch when you switch to your main kit.
