B8 Bronze: Assertive and clear

The high quality B8 Bronze gives the HCS Bronze Series a bright and shimmering sound. B8 stands for the mixture of metals used for the creation of the cymbals, in this case 92% copper, 8% tin. Besides the spectacular look, this results in bright, clear, even and articulate cymbal sounds.

Sound HCS Bronze HiHat

There are all common sizes of HiHats in the HCS Bronze series to choose from. Of particular note are the Soundwave Hihats with a scalloped design on the bottom cymbal. The wavy design allows air to escape between the cymbals as you play, giving them a crisp sound.

Sound HCS Bronze Ride

The HCS Bronze Ride has a mix of power and sustain with a loud bell. The linear decay is clear and the mix is extremely straight.

Sound HCS Bronze Crash

While HCS Bronze Standard Crashes deliver a great frequency mix, the Trash models achieve a short, explosive sound with a high noise aspect. These effect cymbals feature hole cutouts, which means they reduce sustain and add an earthy bite.
