11"/8" Cymbal Stack from Zildjian

Cymbal stacks are a great way to expand your colors and find a unique voice around the kit. But as drummers can attest, finding a good cymbal pairing to build that stack can take some trial and error. Fortunately, Zildjian's Preconfigured Cymbal Stacks feature hand-picked pairs straight from the factory floor to give you dummy-proof great tone at a great price. The PCS003 Preconfigured Cymbal Stack consists of a mismatched 11" Oriental Trash Splash over an 8" Oriental China Trash. Cymbals can be played loose for a "sampled" studio splash sound — quick, cutting, and glassy, with just the right amount of bite — or tightened down for tighter hand-clap effect. Whether you're punching accents or timekeeping, the Zildjian PCS003 is a versatile stack that'll find its way into your stage performances and onto your studio recordings.

11" Zildjian Oriental Trash Splash top

Zildjian's thin A0611 Oriental Trash Splash is known for its funky overtones and sharp report. As the top for the PCS003 stack, its "mismatched" size creates opportunities for cymbals to get to know each other. Loose, you can get splashy, sloshy, open hat–type sounds, with a quick decay that won't hold over barlines. As you increase the tension, the cymbals form a tighter bond to pull SFX duty — a sound which we feel resembles a hand-clap — behind the kit.

8" Zildjian Oriental China Trash bottom

Zildjian may surprise you with this trashy, dry china. The Zildjian 8" Oriental China Trash serves up a shimmering brightness in both its finish and its sound. It produces a fast, explosive response that's perfect for accenting and punctuating with authority. The 8" Oriental China Trash is a suitable to soft to loud playing, and its high pitch and short sustain make it the perfect bottom to this unique stack.
