Q: What is the Ludwig LAPSC Stacker Cap used for?

The Ludwig LAPSC Stacker Cap is an adapter that allows you to mount a second cymbal directly above an existing cymbal on your stand. This creates a "cymbal stack," which is popular for achieving unique, short, and trashy sounds. It's a great way to expand your percussive palette and add new textures to your drumming without needing an entirely new stand, especially useful for placing cymbals in tight or unconventional spots.

Q: How does the LAPSC Stacker Cap attach to my cymbal stand?

The LAPSC Stacker Cap is a 12mm threaded rod designed to fit into threaded cymbal sleeves. To attach it, you would typically thread it into a compatible cymbal stand component, such as a Ludwig Aerodyne Tilter Clamp, which facilitates multi-level cymbal stacking. Once attached, you can place a second cymbal on top of the Stacker Cap, securing it with its own felts and the included locking nuts, which are designed to be safe and easy on cymbal threading.

Q: What are the benefits of using a cymbal stacker like the Ludwig LAPSC?

Using the LAPSC Stacker Cap offers several advantages for drummers. It allows you to create distinct, quick-decaying sounds, often described as "trashy" or "clanky," perfect for accents and effects. It also helps save space on your drum kit by letting you mount two cymbals on a single stand, which is ideal for smaller setups or crowded stages, and provides creative placement solutions for tight spots.
