Brass is not all bad. Brass is good for real short sustain and no wash accents. I got a new 22 inch Meinl HCS brass ride . It is actually surprisingly musical. For $105 brand new, it was a great deal. I wanted a brass ride because I want stick definition on ride patterns. I 'm not gonna crash it and I didn't want all the endless ringing. Only problem with it is I am not used to the size of a 22" ride. It looks awkwardly large to me. I wish I got the 20", but the 22 sounds a bit louder and warmer. If you want a powerful ride and don't mind the size...get it. It is well worth the $105! I would probably get the bronze crashes though. Crashes need a bit more sustain. Brass is good for clarity and quick decay, but probably most of your cymbals should be bronze. The brass HCS rides are surprisingly descent. I see a lot of people like the HCS brass hi hats too.
I agree. My journey as a drummer started out unsurprisingly with brass cymbals since at 13 years old I couldn't tell the difference, nor had I a reference tone to compare them with other cymbals. My first upgrade cymbal was a 16" Paiste 101 Brass cymbal. And at the time I really like it. At the time it cost around 50$. Shortly after I ordered a Zildjian "14 Bronze Crash & immediately started to hear a huge difference. After many years of being a drummer, my ears naturally have developed to the point where I'd like to call myself a cymbal connoisseur. Lol I mostly play the Meinl Classics Extreme & Dark Heavy Extreme Series. But they wouldn't certainly work for Jazz. For Jazz you would use maybe a Zultan Aja series, since at least to me they sound very reminiscent if Crash & other cymbals used in Jazz. Also bronze & other finishes are just much more appealing to the eye as well. But I think you can't really go wrong with brass cymbals, since a splash is supposed to go extinct in seconds anyway. It really depends on many factors.
I purchased the 8 and 10 HCS... they DONT sound good! 😂, even for stacks... no high end clarity or sustain! Trust me! I have videos in a stack and separate.. NOPE! Wuhan splashes are better! Affordable AND nice high end clarity. 👍
This and the 8" are exactly the sounds i've been looking for, everything else on my kit is 2002's and Rude's.
Super sound and super price too. Far better than many other superb models.

Disgusting sounds
No its amazing
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, your uh.. opinion, man.
If you think this 10 inch sounds disgusting, you should hear the 8 inch sounds.
