Meinl HCS 10"/12"/14" Smack Stack – HCS024SM

The Meinl HCS024SM Smack Stack is an innovative 3-piece effects pack designed to deliver the popular "clap" or "smack" sound that has become a staple in modern hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. Consisting of three specially shaped brass discs in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch diameters, this stack produces a dry, cutting, and experimental tone with an incredibly fast response. By adjusting the tension of your cymbal stand’s wing nut, you can completely transform the sound from a tight, crisp "choke" to a loose, sloshy drone, making it a highly versatile tool for backbeats or as a complete snare drum alternative.

Key Features

Three-Piece Disc Configuration: Features 10", 12", and 14" graduated discs that interact to create a distinctive, percussive "smack" sound.
Variable Tension Control: Easily manipulate decay and sustain by tightening the wing nut for short accents or loosening it for a washier, trashier effect.
MS63 Brass Alloy: Crafted from durable German-made brass to ensure a consistent, mid-bright timbre that cuts through the mix without being abrasive.
Snare-Like Attack: Designed to be layered with a snare drum for enhanced backbeats or used solo for a modern, electronic-style clap sound.
Pressure Point Technology: Built with precision-shaping technology to guarantee the discs seat perfectly against each other for optimal sonic results.
