No cymbal proves its true worth in a showroom or on a web page. You have to get it out in real musical situations to be able to put it to the test. Only then will a cymbal reveal its mettle and quality. You can guess how a cymbal will perform and perhaps be disappointed, or you can trust fifty years of Meinl cymbal-making expertise and know exactly the kind of consistency, reliability and sustainability you’ll get with Meinl cymbals.

Meinl's Classics Series hihats are designed to meet the playing needs of semi-professional drummers. Using a high-tech computerized crafting process, these cymbals are made in Germany from a premium B8 bronze alloy that has outstanding visual and sonic strengths that add character and dimension to your music and playing style.

You'll enjoy playing this powerful hihat in regular music settings, but also in louder rock, alternative and metal settings where the cymbal's cutting, high-pitched sound slices through surrounding music, but never overpowers it.

The Classics Powerful Hihat has and explosive, modern sound with a brilliant open shimmer and a defined chick. The extensive selection of different models and sizes in this collection blends well with other Meinl cymbals in your kit so it’s easy to add on without spending lots of extra money.
