What kind of sound does the Sabian Mini Monster Stack produce?

The Sabian Mini Monster Stack delivers a bright, trashy, and explosive accent sound with a very short sustain. Combining a 12-inch splash cymbal with a 10-inch China cymbal, it creates a quick, cutting effect that's perfect for adding unique punctuation to your drumming. Its B20 bronze construction ensures a fast response and a distinct, modern sonic texture.

How is the Mini Monster Stack configured, and can it be adjusted?

The Mini Monster Stack features a 12-inch Sabian AAX Aero Splash stacked directly on top of a 10-inch Sabian AA Mini Holy China. This specific combination is designed to produce its signature bright and trashy sound. You can experiment with the tightness of the stack's mounting to subtly alter the decay and attack, allowing for some personalization of its quick, explosive effect.

Who is the Sabian Mini Monster Stack designed for?

The Sabian Mini Monster Stack is ideal for drummers looking to expand their sonic palette with unique, quick-hitting accents. It's perfect for adding modern, trashy effects to genres like funk, pop, rock, and electronic music.

Get to know them!

With its musically mature splash top and rasp-tongued china bottom, the Sabian Mini Monster Stack possesses the tone, output, and aggression to take your music in fresh new directions. It's the marriage of two favorite minis here at Sweetwater: the 12-inch AAX Aero Splash, known for its tonal purity and icy cut, and the 10-inch Chad Smith–designed Mini Holy China, which is pure lightning in a bottle. On their own, these cymbals are the essential makeup to any effects kit. And together, their impact is doubly pronounced, able to deliver subtle ghosts and texturizing accents all the way to a white-hot blast of holy terror. Looking for big versatility from a little stack? You'll definitely want to consider the Sabian Mini Monster Stack from Sweetwater.

What's Included

12-inch AAX Aero Splash

The Sabian 12-inch AAX Aero Splash sits at the halfway point on the white-noise continuum, between the pure white noise of the AAX O-Zone Splash and the tonality of the AAX Air Splash. The AAX Aero Splash features a more natural decay than O-Zone splashes, and its pattern of multiple small holes delivers higher white-noise content than AAX Air splashes. This suits the Aero Splash to a wide range of musical stylings, in addition to making it an integral part of the Mini Monster Stack.

10-inch AA Mini Holy China

Designed in cooperation with Chad Smith, the Sabian 10-inch AA Mini Holy China cymbal gives you the trashiness and cut of the legendary Holy China, all in a mini-splash form factor. Drummers at Sweetwater are quick to recommend this value-packed, B20-fortified tiny china for kits of any size and vintage — and as the bottom to the Mini Monster Stack, the Mini Holy China is all the sweeter.
