Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 6-inch stacker post that puts a second cymbal above one you already have. The cheapest way to add a stack sound.

Product studyDW Cymbal Stacker (6")

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Stacking a splash on top of a crash for a trashy short sound
  • Adding an effects cymbal with no extra floor space used
  • Quick add-ons for players already out of stand real estate

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting the second cymbal to ring freely and separately
  • Anyone needing more than 6 inches of vertical separation
  • Kits with no free cymbal stand to build the stack on

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

6-inch post length

Sets how far the upper cymbal sits above the lower one. Short, so the two interact and choke each other.

Detail 02

Threads onto an existing stand

It replaces or sits on the stand's top thread. You need a cymbal stand already in place.

Detail 03

Stacker, not an arm

The added cymbal sits directly above, not out to the side. Position is fixed by wherever the host stand already is.

Detail 04

Small footprint hardware

Adds a cymbal without adding a tripod, so crowded kits stay walkable.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No cymbals included — this is the post only
  2. 02Check that felts and a wingnut come with it, or reuse your existing ones
  3. 03Two cymbals on one stand adds weight up top; widen the tripod legs

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this work on any cymbal stand?

It's built for standard cymbal stand threading, so most stands take it. Check your stand's top thread size if it's an unusual or older piece.

02How loose should the stacked cymbal be?

Tighter gives a short choked trash sound; looser lets both cymbals move and ring longer. The 6-inch length keeps them close either way.

03Can I stack two crashes?

Physically yes, but heavy cymbals stack poorly at this height and load the stand. A splash or thin effects cymbal on top is the usual pairing.

04Do I need a new stand for this?

No. It goes on a stand you already own — that's the point. You only need a free cymbal stand and the second cymbal.
