The 6 Best Lion Cymbals (2023 reviews)

Playing hcs cymbals will sound more like what you hear in actual songs, making the drums even more fun to play. It is a German made, top-quality entry level cymbal that resembles more high-end models with its crisp, bright tone and musical feel. The inch cymbal is quieter than the 10, but the meinl cymbal does a great job and has its own stand out sound that sets off the quieter riffs. It has a bright tone and lighting-fast sustain for quick accents where larger crash cymbals would be too much.

There are many instructional videos on the web that show placing a small splash on your snare in order to get a "clap" sound as heard in EDM. The cymbal is quite thick and so is the sound. It is great for acoustic to electric conversion.

Why We Like This:

Well made and looks great too
Fast accent, no ring to it, which is good for a splash
Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For The money: Meinl Cymbals Splash Cymbal

Meinl hcs cymbals are an outstanding entry point for beginner drummers with their ultra-clean sounds that let you hear every note with clarity. They are awesome and not even a single sign of rust, cracking, or warping. This means you can build up your drum set exactly how you want with a uniform sound.

The China splash has a wonderful shimmering effect that's perfect for alternative genres in playing. It has great sound and during recording there's no issue trying to hear it.

Best For any drummer: Wuhan Great Cymbal

Buy on Amazon

The wuhan great cymbal might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. It is great cymbal for any drummer looking for a new sound to add to their set up. It is made of high-quality cast b20 alloy dark explosive trashy. It holds up well to getting thrashed. It is great for riding on or using as an effect to liven up a groove. It also pairs up nicely with the 12" china as complementary sounds, if you're into having two chinas and are on a budget.

The up side, sounds great played with songs that are in a minor key. It can drown out other cymbals easily. This doesn't disappoint, if you're looking for a very loud, heavy sounding cymbal then this is the one for you.

Why We Like This:

Excellent for kicking off those killer riffs
Sounds pretty good, and is durable
Loud & trashy, great tone, fast and short, immediate decay after strike
Great cymbal with a very load punch

Best For children: Foraineam Lion Cymbal

Buy on Amazon

These cymbals will make it easy for your first step into cymbals. It fits the bill perfectly plus it is perfect for kid's drum set. It is good for children, or maybe a experimental stacker cymbal. They really add excellent dynamics and different accents to the sound.

These are a lot smaller than hi-hats and high hats usually have a thinner top cymbal. This is a great way to ease into playing and later deciding what to spend the big bucks on. This cymbal is an incredible value. It is made of brass, handmade.

Why We Like This:

5 -piece slingerland and rogers sets with hand-made zildjians
Good investment for long term

Best For double bass pattern: Wuhan Lion Cymbal

Buy on Amazon

This is a great intro for China cymbals. It holds up great, just like any other cymbal as long as you don't absolutely crush it. The cymbal gives a crisp, high. It has a full sound that completely fills the room and is great for breakdowns.

These are all very very nice, each cymbal (from ride to crash to china) all sound amazing. It has unique chararistics / overtones, etc. The sound quality of the cymbal is just terrific.

Why We Like This:

Very dark, trashy, perfect for a double bass pattern and/or heavy rock music
Buffed to a brilliant finish stamped with unobtrusive but attractive logo
Make a fantastic splash of color that is distinctive and punctuates nicely
