17"/18" Cymbal Stack from Matt Halpern (Periphery)
The Meinl Double Down is one of Matt Halpern's signature cymbal effects. Periphery fans will instantly recognize the quick metallic bite of this aggressive stack. It's comprised of two reversible cymbals: a 17" Byzance crash (top) and an 18" Byzance china (bottom). Each cymbal features dual surfaces to create two utterly unique sounds. In standard configuration (hammered side down) the Matt Halpern Double Down speaks with a deep, abrasive bark and a quick (half-second) decay. This configuration is great for metal breakdowns and punching syncopated grooves. Reverse the cymbals (hammered side up) for a spittier, tinnier, almost electronic-sounding white noise that's gone as quick as it arrives.
