Meinl MC-CYS8

This is quite a simple piece of hardware, sturdy and stable. Unproblematic. Of course the critical bit is not the arm itself, reviewed here, but the clam and/or the piece where you attach it to.

There are several types of stacker around. Some only fit one series of stand by one manufacturer. Some look rather heavy and unstable on any stand. These are simple, lightweight and screw on to any standard 8mm thread on any stand. I have about 5 of them because I have loads of special effect cymbals. Some have larger mounts and washers than others. (I'm not sure if they are a different stock number? sent by mistake? but hey! my cymbals are different shapes and sizes!). They are quick and easy to set up, as and when required.

Get it!!! Just watch out for the difference of cymbals diameter-wise, the upper should be some inches smaller to be able to hit the lower one easily. Though inclination plays a role too.
