Add Some Crunchy Character to Your Kit
Hand-hammered from stainless steel or brass and riveted with cymbal and tambourine jingles, the Crunch Ring delivers a raw, lo-fi texture that Sweetwater drummers say fits perfectly in dense, effects-heavy mixes or stripped-back live setups. Whether imbuing a hi-hat with a gritty, metallic effect or pushing snare drums or cymbals into sound design territory, the Crunch Ring delivers unique percussion and tames unwanted overtones without choking the sound of the host instrument. Each Crunch Ring, handmade in North Carolina from salvaged materials by Stack Ring Percussion, is sure to add a new dynamic to your kit.

Stack Ring Percussion: new life for broken bronze
Handcrafted in North Carolina by professional musician and craftsman Timothy Roberts, Stack Ring Percussion was born from a simple idea: that discarded and broken cymbals can still have a voice. By repurposing salvaged bronze alongside steel and brass, Roberts and his team of skilled musician-artisans have built a line of creative percussion tools designed to expand the capabilities of a drum set. Stack Ring products can emulate electronic sounds acoustically, add unique layering textures, and bring the character of custom stacking effects within reach of any percussionist. Sweetwater drummers seek out Stack Ring creations whenever a kit needs more grit, more sizzle, or just a little extra something that the stock setup won’t deliver.
