MEINL HCS 3-Piece Smack Stack

The MEINL 3-piece HCS 10/12/14 Smack Stack features three discs shaped to create a distinctive sound effect. The stack can be manipulated by adjusting the tension of the cymbal stand’s wing nut. Increased tension produces a crisp attack and short decay ideal for quick accents, while loose settings yield a longer sustain. It works well when paired with a snare drum for enhanced back beats, or as an alternative to your snare altogether. The discs are sized 10", 12" and 14".

Made in Germany with MS63 brass alloy for a clean, bright and crisp tone, the HCS 10/12/14 Smack Stack features substantial thickness with well-formed surface grooves and hammer marks to give you a defined sound without clangy or ear-piercing overtones. Hole cutouts and a wavy shape give the cymbal discs a drier attack with more trash and slosh to fill out the sound with complex tone. HCS Smack Stacks naturally blend with any type of cymbal from B20 to B8 bronze. You can easily incorporate a Smack Stack into your kit, especially if you play other MEINL cymbal lines like Byzance, Pure Alloy or Classics Custom.

The discs are sized 10", 12" and 14".
