Description

The Meinl HCS 12″ Trash Stack is a compact, aggressive-sounding stack designed to inject instant bite and trashy character into your drum sound. Made from durable MS63 brass alloy and specially matched top and bottom cymbals, it delivers a fast, explosive attack with a super short sustain that cuts clearly through any mix.
