The Meinl Fat Stack Matt Garstka consists of a 16" bottom in raw finish and an 18" top in traditional finish. Both cymbals are from the Meinl Byzance series and are made from B20 bronze. In combination, Meinl's two cymbals produce a short, dry sound with trashy nuances. The Meinl Fat Stack Matt Garstka is perfect for crisp accents or as a brute timekeeper for funk or hip hop beats. The composition of traditional and raw finish creates a warm, harmonious frequency mix and the round cut-outs additionally provide a very short sustain with a dry basic character.
„This stack prevails in every mix. Without clinking my fat stack has a very dry, for the ear pleasant sustain. The trashy sound is created by exerting pressure on the stack. My personal favorite is the light tension that makes the FatStack live up to its name. I use it in my setup mainly as a timekeeper and for short choppy accents. In combination with my snare it is perfect for an organic Hip-Hop-Clap sound.“
