Information

Essential Information About the Max Stax 10" Stack (Max Splash + China Kang)
• Ultra-fast "stack" effect : immediate attack, short sustain, ideal for sharp and punchy accents.
• Ready-to-play configuration : 1 Max Splash 10" + 1 China Kang 10" for a simple and effective stacking.
• Raw and cutting character : un-lathed edges for a more aggressive and "biting" sound.
• B20 alloy : harmonic richness and dynamic response, even at low velocity.

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

This effects set belongs to the world of modern stacks designed for music requiring fast accents and immediate presence in the mix. Developed in collaboration with Mike Portnoy, it aims for a direct percussive aesthetic: a short, aggressive, and controlled effect, perfectly suited for accent patterns and breaks.

Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument

This stack is intended for intermediate to advanced drummers looking to enrich their setup with a color dedicated to effects. Particularly comfortable in rock, metal, prog, and fusion, it is also suitable for live contexts where sharp attacks are desired without overwhelming the sonic space, as well as for studio recordings requiring clear transients.
