The Meinl 22" HCS Ride delivers a strong, defined ping with a warm, washy undertone, making it a versatile choice for players looking for both articulate stick definition and a full crashable ride sound. Built from MS63 brass alloy and finished traditionally, it has a balanced mix of clarity and sustain, with a pronounced bell that cuts through the mix. Its larger 22" size provides extra volume and wash, while still maintaining control, making it a great option for beginners and intermediate drummers seeking unbeatable value in a ride cymbal.
