Introducing Our Flat/Curved Stacks & Hats

---

Whether you're seeking a distinctive effect for a specific studio session or exploring diverse sounds to enhance stage mixes, our stacks offer a fantastic way to discover new and exciting sonic possibilities for your drum kit and group sound. GM Designs presents the Curved Stack, the largest on the market at 16"/20". This uniquely shaped and tempered duo of cymbals is crafted to deliver a tactile, acoustic reproduction of classic analog 8-bit handclap samples—a timeless element that has shaped music for generations. To further customize your sound, the 20” cymbal features two holes at the edge, allowing players to experiment with rivets or our B20 jingles (sold separately) for added texture and dynamic control.

Introducing the GM Designs Cymbal Stack — a fresh reimagining of the classic 8-bit handclap, built for today’s drummers. With fully adjustable decay, you can tighten it down for a sharp, snappy clap or open it up for a raw, crunchy burst. Unlike most clap stacks that lock you into one sound, this versatile design delivers a wide range of textures in a single setup.

Choose from a 2-piece or 3-piece stack, or pick up any of the cymbals individually to combine with your own gear — a level of flexibility you won’t find anywhere else. Available in Multicolor, Red, or Black finishes to match your style as much as your sound.

Introducing the GM Designs Eclipse Stack! Featuring a flat, dry ride cymbal paired with an inverted super-thin top, it delivers an explosive, trashy white-noise effect with a quick decay. The wavy top adds a shimmering, sizzling bite, while the flat base provides a controlled, articulate tone—perfect for riding or punchy accents. Named for its eclipse-like appearance, this visually stunning stack offers bold, versatile sounds and can be used as a dynamic stack or separated for two unique cymbal voices. Available in 13"/15", 15"/17", and 17"/19" configurations, it’s perfect for drummers seeking creative new tones at a great value.

 The 15" Nexus Wavy Hi-Hats are thin, hand-shaped, and wave-textured, designed to expand the limits of dynamic expression. Featuring raw, unlathed tops and lathed undersides (excluding the bell), they produce a dark, simmering tone with crisp, dry definition. Each sticking area reveals a distinct character—subtle and articulate at softer dynamics, then opening up into explosive, punchy accents when pushed harder. 

Combining the iconic Curved stack design with traditional hi-hat bells, these innovative cymbals offer a never-before-heard sound experience. Closed with the foot pedal, they deliver a soft, dark crunch, while splashing them together unleashes a bold, expressive attitude. With thick, tasty tones and unlimited flexibility, these hi-hats are perfect for creative drummers seeking new sonic horizons. Explore a world of possibilities with the GM Designs 16" Curved Stack Hi-Hats – where tradition meets innovation.
