MEINLHCS 3-Piece Smack Stack
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MEINL’s HCS Smack Stack combines 10-, 12-, and 14-inch MS63 brass discs into an adjustable effects voice for a drum kit. Tighten the cymbal-stand wing nut for a crisp, short-decay accent, or back it off for more sustain. The shaped, cutout discs add dry attack with trash and slosh, while their grooves and hammer marks help keep the sound defined rather than harsh. Place it beside a snare for backbeat color or use it as a snare alternative.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding short, defined accents beside a snare by tightening the cymbal-stand wing nut.
- Giving backbeats extra effect texture when paired with a snare drum.
- Using a three-disc stack as an alternative voice in place of a snare.
