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.
