I recieved it today in the mail, its a lot smaller then i thought it would be. it says on it that its made in germany but it sounds almost a little bit chinese. the sound is pretty good. fast accent, no ring to it, which is good for a splash. and the price is unbeatle. where else can you get a new splash for 20 bucks? Yes yes yes, zildjian and sabian and paiste's are better but at 140 bucks id rather have 7 of these things. go ahead and buy it its nice. Review: Cymbal mini - Great product. The drummer at our church loves the sound. ## Features - UPGRADE FROM STOCK CYMBALS: replaces the flimsy cymbals most entry-level kits include—Meinl HCS sounds real and feels solid - WHY IT MATTERS: better sound makes practice more fun—and durable brass stands up to regular playing - 8" SPLASH: bright, quick sound that adds sharp accents where larger crash cymbals are too much—perfect for grooves and fills - MADE IN GERMANY: German brass delivers a bright, clean sound without harsh ringing - WHY CHOOSE HCS: built by the same team behind Meinl's professional cymbals, so you get reliable quality from the same craftsmanship trusted by professionals worldwide - ZOOM IN: precision lathe grooves and hammer marks create a polished look and help shape a more musical sound - ROOM TO EXPAND: from hihats, crashes, and rides to effects cymbals and stacks in multiple sizes, Meinl HCS lets you build a setup that grows with your skills and style - BOTTOM LINE: German-made entry-level cymbals with musical sound, lasting durability, premium feel, and all-style versatility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0013O7NVG | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,839 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1 in Splash Cymbals | | Body Material | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Brand | Meinl Percussion | | Brand Name | Meinl Percussion | | Color | MS63 Brass Alloy | | Connector Type | screw | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 774 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840553005943 | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 8.27 x 8.27 x 0.39 inches | | Item Type Name | HCS 8" Splash Cymbal for Drum Set — MADE IN GERMANY — Traditional Medium Brass, 2-YEAR WARRANTY | | Item Weight | 0.17 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8.27 x 8.27 x 0.39 inches | | Manufacturer | Meinl USA L.C. | | Material | Brass | | Model Name | Splash | | Model Number | HCS8S | | Part Number | HCS8S | | UPC | 840553005943 | | Warranty Description | 2 years. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Meinl Cymbals - **Color:** MS63 Brass Alloy - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8 x 1 x 8 inches - **Material:** Brass - **Model Name:** Splash ## Images ![HCS 8" Splash - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cas6BHEuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ meinl 8inch splash *by W***E on December 31, 2009* This splash is a great little cymbal.

The drummer at our church loves the sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cymbal BUT you get what you pay for *by C***N on May 25, 2015* This is a cheap cymbal. That being said, for a $25 cymbal, it's great. It has a decent tone for such a cheap splash and it's a perfect addition to a practice kit to add in some accents and character to your playing. Don't expect a professional sound, but for the price, this cymbal is well worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Meinl Cymbals HCS 8" Splash Cymbal for Drum Set — Made in Germany — Traditional Medium, 2-Year Warranty, MS63 Brass Alloy, (HCS8S) - Jiayouy Drum Set Mounting Clamp Chrome Cymbal Boom Arm with Clamp Holder Bracket Percussion Instrument Accessories Silver - Gibraltar GCA Grabber Cymbal Arm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1098298-hcs-8-splash](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1098298-hcs-8-splash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
