Meinl HCS8H 8" HCS Micro Stack Hi-Hats

The Meinl HCS8H 8" Micro Stack Hi-Hats are compact effect hi-hats designed for quick accents, tight timekeeping and sharp stack-style sounds. Their small 8" size gives them a fast, focused response, making them a useful addition to drum kits, percussion setups, hybrid rigs and auxiliary hi-hat stations. Built as part of Meinl’s HCS series, these micro stack hats pair a heavier bottom cymbal with a lighter top cymbal to create a short, cutting sound that sits well in busy musical settings. They are especially useful for drummers who want an extra hi-hat voice without taking up much space. Key Features 8" micro stack hi-hats from the Meinl HCS series Compact size for fast accents and tight rhythmic patterns Heavy bottom cymbal paired with a lighter top cymbal Short sustain with a focused, cutting response Useful as an auxiliary hi-hat or effects hi-hat Traditional finish with wide-blade lathing Suitable for pop, fusion, jazz, R&B, electro and world styles Made using Meinl’s computerised manufacturing process in Germany Why Choose the Meinl HCS8H Micro Stack Hats? The Meinl HCS8H is a good choice if you want a compact hi-hat sound for accents, grooves and quick pattern work. Because of the smaller 8" diameter, these hats respond quickly and decay fast, giving you a tight sound that does not wash over the rest of the kit. They work well on a standard hi-hat stand, auxiliary hi-hat arm, x-hat mount or compact percussion setup. For drummers who play busy grooves, electronic-influenced parts or layered acoustic setups, the HCS8H adds a useful extra voice without needing the space of a full-size hi-hat pair.
