This stack is expensive, but it is worth every cent and, as a matter of fact, the buyer ends up with three amazing cymbals by the price of one. The stack, created by Matt Garstka (Animals As Leaders) for the Artist Concept Series, can be described as a perforated 18 inch Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Crash above a perforated 16 inch Meinl Byzance Extra Dry China ? however there are some differences, besides the holes, to their non-perforated counterparts: they look more flexible and the hammering patterns are different.
When stacked, these cymbals produce a earthy, trashy, dark, rich and dry noise. It?s a loud and powerful stack, without being aggressive or annoying, and it is very sensitive to the tension of the cymbal mate, meaning that one can extract a wide range of sounds, by loosening or tightening it.
That would be good enough, but it happens that both elements of the stack are great cymbals by themselves and none of them is available separately ? they were made exclusively for this stack. The 18 inch perforated Crash (top) has a very dark and ominous sound and the 16 inch perforated China (bottom) is the best China I ever heard, very dry and rich and not clangy at all. They are so great when used separately that one feels tempted to buy a second Fat Stack ? one to be used as a stack, the other to be split into a crash and a a china.

Beautiful all round stack composed of the simply blissful crash and a MEGA china bottom have the best compatibility for all Genre of music styles. I especially love using the crash in its own , it has the aired out elegance of a jazz crash with the attack of a sharp stinger on a hornet! Love it !

Nothing else to say... THIS IS THE STACK

Loosen, tight (prefer it that way) it just kills everything
you can ride on top, smash it (like Gartska does) and it stay at his place.. it's not overpowering the mix

Go get it

Meinl Fat Stack - Matt Gartska
Ddrumminandshit 08.11.2017
Ich habe mir den Fat Stack aus der Überzeugung heraus bestellt, einen Stack zu erhalten, welcher sowohl solo, als auch im Mix einer kompletten Band heraussticht und angenehm für das Ohr ist. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht!

Der Fat Stack hat einen sehr thrashigen, kurzen, aggressiven Sound und lässt sich wunderbar in vielerlei musikalischen Kontext bringen. Je nach Festigkeit der Beckenschraube lassen sich verschiedene Ergebnisse erzielen. Sowohl sehr fest, als auch sehr lose klingt der Stack phänomenal. Für mich eignet sich ein mittlerer Druck besonders, da so die Abklingzeit weiter kurz bleibt, aber trotzdem ein unglaublicher Bottom erzeugt wird.

Ich verwende ihn hauptsächlich mit meiner Djent-Band. Vor allem in Passagen wo Bass und Schlagzeug tragende Elemente sind, kommt der Stack wunderbar zur Geltung.

Er ist laut - sehr laut - aber gleichzeitig perfekt abgestimmt sowohl in Sachen Spielgefühl, Sound als auch Diversität. So ergibt sich z.B. zusammen mit einem tiefen, fetten Snare-Sound ein Hip Hop-Clap.

Auch einzeln machen beide Becken eine gute Figur. Das Crash ist sehr thrashig und das China unglaublich trocken.

Insgesamt kann ich sagen, dass sich die relativ hohe Investition auf jeden Fall gelohnt hat und der Stack mir noch viel Spaß bereiten wird!
