Developed in collaboration with Thomas Lang, this model emphasizes clarity and impact, providing a very identifiable sonic signature within the brand's stacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stack is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert\u003c\/strong\u003e drummers who want to enrich their set with an expressive and easy-to-place effect cymbal. It excels in electro, modern pop, fusion, reggae, RnB, studio, world, and contemporary jazz, whenever short accents, sharp punctuations, or an alternative \"trashy hi-hat\" are needed without overwhelming the sonic space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Super Stack concept is based on a stacked \u003cstrong\u003echina and crash\u003c\/strong\u003e combination, designed to deliver an aggressive \"bark\" in the midrange and a naturally short sustain. The perforated cymbals speed up air and vibration evacuation: the result is a faster response and a drier effect, even at high volume. By tightening or loosening the stack, you finely control the openness, note length, and degree of \"slosh.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003ebright\u003c\/strong\u003e timbre and \u003cstrong\u003eaggressive\u003c\/strong\u003e character, this stack is designed to \"cut\" through dense guitars, synths, and basses. Played shoulder-height, it delivers a sharp attack and a very short trashy sound; played more softly on the edge, it can produce a wider, more \"washy\" sizzle, perfect for coloring a groove without overloading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe use of \u003cstrong\u003eB10 and B20\u003c\/strong\u003e bronze alloys contributes to this balance between precision and richness: B10 favors a direct and bright response, while B20 brings more harmonic complexity. The combination, along with the stack format and perforations, creates a percussive, fast, and highly controllable effect, with a rather \u003cstrong\u003ehigh\u003c\/strong\u003e pitch and effective projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estack cymbals (china and crash combination)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMeinl Artist Concept Models\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eThomas Lang\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e18 inches (top cymbal) and 18 inches (bottom cymbal)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB10 and B20 bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerforated cymbals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eyes (top and bottom) for faster decay\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLathe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebrilliant\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edistinctive visual from the Artist Concept series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimbre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebright\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eaggressive, bright, cutting\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehigh\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emedium\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eshort\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ethin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable sustain by tightening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eyes (wing nut)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eon standard cymbal stand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358215754003,"sku":"378963","price":379.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/beedb15dd68f8b8af43d2816482f7c5b22a125ea_AC_SUPER.jpg?v=1787332387","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-18-18-artist-concept-super-stack-thomas-lang-378963","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
