Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 12"/14" X-treme stack bears some visual similarities to the Trash hats, combining a regularly-shaped 12" top cymbal with a 14" china beneath. iveted to the china are four pairs of jingles.

Designed to be mounted on a cymbal stand, the X-treme stack's sound is fuller than that of the Trash hats. The attached jingles emphasise each stroke, creating an additional accent. Loosening the cymbal stand nut encourages the two cymbals to participate in what sounds like a sizzling quarrel, while the jingles keep the attack focused."
