Review: "The 12" bottom cymbal resembles a UFO-shaped disk, with a sunken bell and a wavy, slightly dimpled edge. The 10" cymbal’s raised bell and pronounced lumpy edge is designed to provide metal-on-metal contact with the bottom cymbal. Meinl’s Norbert Saemann told me that the wavy edges result in “a sharper, more focused sound, with less wash.” In general, I found this to be true. The wavy-edged contours gave the Stack lots of hiss and sizzle, just short of the sound of a shimmering crash cymbal. But maybe I was seeing only half the picture."
