MEINL Cymbals Artist Concept Fat Stack - Matt Garstka (AC-FAT)

This stack cuts through the mix with a crunchy bite. With no ring the sustain is dry and pleasing to the ear. Its trashy quality is maintained through a wide variety of tensions, with my personal favorite being a light tension that gives its Fat Stack namesake. It functions in my setup mainly as a time keeper, but it also works extremely well with choppy accents coupled with a snare it has a great organic hip hop clap sound. The Artist Concept Models are a collection of cymbal voices. They are the product of Meinl cymbal artists and the Meinl R&D team. The goal was to craft unique and innovative sounds that allow the artist to explore, create and forge ahead as leaders in acoustic music and in the art of drumming.
