General
The abrupt and ultra-dry sound of the Meinl AC-TE1 stack has been specially configured from the ground up to inject some innovation into your beats. Developed with the professional help of Matt Garstka, this stack is built out of a 10 inch B20 bronze lower cymbal with a half-matte, half-traditional finish and an 8 inch B20 bronze cymbal with a traditional finish slapped on top. Both cymbals have been hand-hammered to ensure a high-grade attack and response and a unique look.
Trashy & Dry Staccatos
The sound of this singular stack is best described as a dry and deliciously trashy staccato that could be compared to the sound of a closed hi-hat, but then far more explosive, and much louder. Because of the staccato-style sound, this stack is able to punch through the band mix, supporting slicing and satisfying accents.
