This Tama cymbal stacker is compatible with all Tama cymbal stands, including those with Quick-Set Tilters. The hardware is useable with both 6mm- and 8mm-diameter cymbal rods. This Tama cymbal stacker has its own toothless Quick-Set Tilter, which securely holds its position using the friction of six metal disc plates instead of traditional gears, so you can adjust it to any desired angle. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than a conventional gear tilter. The cymbal is held on by Tama's Quick-Set Cymbal Mate. By simply gripping and pressing the two buttons on the sides of the unit, you can attach and remove the Cymbal Mate with just one touch. This component makes cymbal setup a snap. Of course, as is the case with an ordinary Cymbal Mate, it's easy to make fine adjustments to cymbal swing by rotating the unit.
