Meinl Artist Concept Matt Garstka Temporal 1 Stack 810Inch

The Meinl Artist Concept Matt Garstka Temporal 1 Stack brings a revolutionary approach to cymbal design with its distinctive 8"/10" configuration. This innovative stack emerges from the collaboration between Meinl Cymbals artist Matt Garstka and their R&D team, creating truly unique sound combinations that push the boundaries of traditional cymbal voices. Among the Temporal Stack series, this particular model offers the lowest pitch while maintaining that characteristic trashy, dry staccato response that makes it perfect for rhythmic patterns and accents.

Crafted from premium B20 Bronze with hand hammering techniques, the stack features a thin weight profile that contributes to its distinctive character. The finish combines raw, brilliant, and sandblasted elements, while the narrow blade lathe work enhances its dry, trashy timbre. With its high–mid pitch range and mid–bright tone, this stack produces short sustain and low volume output, making it ideal for controlled musical applications across genres including electro, jazz, R&B, studio work, world music, rock, pop, and fusion.

This cymbal stack serves as an excellent addition for drummers seeking fresh textures without overwhelming their existing setup. The unique combination of sizes creates sounds that fill gaps in your sonic palette, particularly useful for adding subtle accents and rhythmic punctuation. Its versatility across multiple musical styles makes it a valuable tool for both studio recording and live performance applications.
