Review: Great Starter Cymbal Set That’s Held Up Over the Years - I bought this HCS cymbal set back in 2016 and I’m honestly surprised at how well it has held up over the years. It’s been used mostly for practice and casual playing, and it’s still going strong. For a beginner set, the sound is decent and consistent enough to learn proper technique without worrying about damaging expensive cymbals. These cymbals aren’t meant to compete with high-end professional cymbals, but they do exactly what they’re supposed to do for beginners and practice sessions. Durability has been solid for the price, and I haven’t had any major issues with cracking or warping. cymbals are good in size and the appearance was very solid. it weights a bit but hey they are brass hehe. Pros: Great value starter pack for beginners Durable, still usable after years of practice Good for learning and daily practice Cons: Sound quality is basic compared to professional cymbals Not ideal for studio recording or live performances Conclusion: If you’re starting out or need a reliable set of practice cymbals, this is a solid choice. I’ve been using mine since 2016 and they’ve held up well. They’re not professional-grade, but for beginners and everyday practice, this set does the job and offers great value for the price.
