Controlled crash sound in an 18" size!

The Meinl 18" HCS Dark Crash combines a quick response with short sustain and a controlled, medium-dark tonal character. This makes the cymbal ideal for punchy crash accents that cut through quickly and then decay swiftly. Its defined, harmonic character and low-mid pitch are a great fit for rock and pop. The Dark finish gives it a distinctive, unified look within an HCS Dark cymbal setup.

Quick response for precise accents

The 18" crash responds immediately when struck, supporting clearly placed accents in grooves and fills. Its short sustain keeps the overall sound controlled and prevents a long decay. Its volume ranges from medium to low, complementing the cymbal's focused character.

MS63 alloy and Dark finish

The HCS18DAC is made from an MS63 brass alloy and machine-formed. Its medium weight and wide-blade lathing are part of its construction, along with its distinctive Dark finish. This crash is made in Germany. It pairs beautifully with other sizes in the HCS Dark series, giving drummers a defined cymbal sound, distinctive looks, and excellent value for money.
