Meinl Cymbals HCS Smack Stack Cymbals - 10/12/14-inch

Drones and Snare-sounding Short Sustain

Prepare to explore entirely new sounds with the Byzance HCS Smack Stack Cymbals from Meinl! Starting with a piece of Meinl's MS63 alloy, these unique cymbals come beautifully lathed and shaped into flush round designs for a truly experimental appearance profile wise. The resulting effect of the Smack Stack is completely up to you: just tighten or loosen your boom's wingnut and see the difference. Keeping things loose creates a long-sustaining drone, while a more fastened-down approach acts as a choke, virtually killing sustain and offering an enticing accentual palette. The latter option can even serve as a substitute snare tone if you so desire!
