Meinl Generation X 12/14" X-treme Stack

The bottom cymbal contains jingles which enable an exceptional sizzling attack. An adjustable sustain is possible by using the wing nut of the cymbal stand.

Why stack cymbals?
By putting two or more cymbals on top of each other, new and unique sounds can be created. Modern music requires new and hip sounds which can't be realized with conventional cymbals. By stacking cymbals, radical sounds are achieved which reflect the drummers creativity and open mind. Unconventional white noises and trashy effects are sounds demanded by many producers in today's studio world. From a playing standpoint, stacks are used for fast accents and special effect sounds. Due to the fact that they are naturally muffled, they can also be used for keeping time, similar to the function of hihats or ride cymbals.
