Meinl Byzance Vintage 10"/12"/14" Smack Stack Cymbals.

The Byzance Vintage Smack Stack features three B20 bronze discs shaped to create a distinctive 'clap' or 'electronic snare sound' 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. The discs are sized 10”, 12”, and 14”.
