Call me crazy, but the stack with the two cracked cymbals sounds the best to me.

MARK JOHNSON! Don't pay attention to all the trash comments. Your drumming is solid as always, and you're showing off the stacks well.

Mark! Everyone is spoiled with Nick. I got it. An educational video not a sales video.
Keep up the good work.

so what happened with the quiet tone cymbal stacked with the mini china?

[MrNatan]

Woah, this guys legit! More please!!!!

[ograin]

Sabian O-Zones + any dry cymbal or dry splash sound amazing.

Just wanted to say my name is also Mark Johnson. That is all.

WOW those Zildjian fx stacks sound horrible.. Especially the smaller one.. Wow.

I wouldn't necessarily limit myself to any size cymbals for any particular genre. I along with some other drummers that I know in the metal genres use 8, 10, and 12 inch cymbal stacks. It goes by what sounds good to you, and what sounds good in the mix. Just get a hold of lots of cymbals and experiment and found your sound. Great video though!

Adam Faulkner of Gilla Band would love this video

The first ones drum set sounds beautiful!!

Man it looks like a pain to hit that rack tom with the ride hovering over it! I've never heard a china stack before, but it sounds pretty fucking sweet. I might put an even smaller china on the top just to get more sustain out of the 18! I'm just recently exploring cymbal stacks. I always thought it was pointless before but after getting myself a sweet new S series Trash Crash I've been exploring with some drier and less sustained cymbal tones. They sound so good as an accent cymbal on really tight high hat patterns. I love having the option of a second huge hihat or just a washy sound so I don't have to feather the hat pedal as much.

I think I’ve found my new YouTube rabbit hole for tonight

[No_Transitory]

Great drumming!!! But I’m still waiting for a video hat shows good stands to use for stacks.. I have Meinl dark classic customs 16in trash stack and my Tama road pros couldn’t hold them. But I got some crazy bobo stand and it just bolts down the top and bottom. But there is a big gap between the top and bottom.

Guys
Stop asking where Nick is

Just enjoy the video!

I came for the stacks
Not for Nick
If you want Nick
Look up Nick and watch one of his videos!

The Zildjian effect stack sounds like a toy.

[FusionHowie]

Great demo Thank you.This is the reason I keep buying ALL my drums, Keybaord, PA equipment from this awesome honorable informative company. Seriously I am off to order sticks from Sweetwater.
Very unique drums and tom mount. what kind of drums are the blue ones in the video?

[ryanfrancis]

[bbdrms]

The Byzance 8" is on top of which Paiste 10"? Pst7? Can you make a stack with mixing b8 with b20? Incidentally, I have a Pst7 10"...what do recommend to stack with it...on its own it's o.k., but it could be better stacked maybe.

I need to know what Wing nut lock they are using for this video!!
