Meinl is pleased to introduce four new Smack Stacks to our assortment. Two Smack Stacks are available in their Byzance Vintage, and two more Smack Stacks are available in their HCS series.

Byzance Vintage 10″, 12″, 14″ Smack Stack

The Byzance Vintage Smack Stack features three B20 bronze 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. 

Works well when paired with a snare drum for enhanced back beats, or as an alternative to your snare altogether.

Byzance Vintage 8″, 16″ Smack Stack Add-On Pack

The Byzance Vintage Smack Stack Add-on Pack is comprised of two B20 bronze discs that you can use to expand your Smack Stack.  This pack features both an 8” disc for added high end and a 16” disc for a lower timbre. 

Add to your existing Smack Stack and use all five discs for more volume and a fuller sound.  You can also mix and match discs to find the sound that suits you best.
