Effects cymbal stacks can be made from numerous combinations of cymbals. You can use new stuff, like China cymbals and cymbals with holes and special designs.

The Hybrid Mounting Pod

The Gibraltar Hybrid Mounting Pod GRS-HMP is designed for drum set-ups that use a lot of cymbal stands. This one piece of hardware does the work of two to three cymbal stands, cutting down on the amount of tripods taking up floor space. The Hybrid Mounting Pod attaches to the existing cymbal stand giving more space to mount accessories or cymbals right to the same stand and eliminate unwanted tripods. You can use the cymbal arm from your existing cymbal stands to make this change or select from Gibraltar’s large offering of custom cymbal mounting arms.
