Zildjian 10" FX cymbal stack

The Zildjian 10" FX Stack is a compact, ultra-flexible effects cymbal stack that instantly injects attitude into any drum kit. Built from upgraded Zildjian I Series Bronze and paired with the ingenious Cymbolt mount, it delivers everything from bright, splashy accents to raw, trashy snaps, all from a single, highly tweakable setup.

Designed as part of Zildjian’s modular FX Stacks line, this 10" configuration lets you experiment with different stack orders, tensions and orientations to unlock a huge range of sounds. Whether you are adding quick electronic-style stabs to a hip-hop groove, industrial textures to a fusion kit, or just looking for a fresh voice for fills and breakdowns, the FX Stack encourages creativity and rewards experimentation.

At its core, the FX Stack is about control. The included multi-functional Cymbolt replaces your standard wing nut and felts, allowing you to fine-tune the tightness of the stack in seconds. Loosen it off for a more open, splashy wash, or clamp it down for a super-short, cutting bark that slices through any mix. Because it mounts directly to a standard cymbal stand, it is easy to drop into your existing setup without extra hardware.

While cymbal stacking has become a staple in modern fusion, industrial and trap-inspired playing, the 10" FX Stack is equally at home in any style that calls for fast, expressive accents. Use it on its own, combine it with other FX Stack sizes, or integrate it with splashes, chinas and EFX cymbals for even more adventurous textures. With the FX Stack, your imagination really is the only limit.

Modular FX Stack Design

The FX Stack concept gives you a three-cymbal stack that can be configured in multiple ways, encouraging you to build a personalised sound. With two larger FX splash cymbals and one smaller cymbal in the set, you can stack them in any order, flip them, or even use them in a hi-hat style orientation to find the response and tone that best suits your playing.

Wide Sonic Range from One Compact Setup

From bright, splashy accents to raw, quick and cutting effects, the 10" FX Stack covers a surprising amount of ground. Its inherently bright and musical character makes it responsive at all dynamics, so ghosted notes, fast patterns and explosive hits all speak clearly without getting lost in the mix.

Cymbolt Mount for Instant Articulation Control

The included Zildjian Cymbolt mount lets you change the feel and articulation of the stack in seconds. By simply adjusting the tension, you can move between a looser, more washy sound and a tight, ultra-short “clap” style effect. The Cymbolt also features a quick-release function and replaces standard wing nuts and felts, making setup and teardown fast and hassle-free.

Perfect for Modern and Experimental Styles

Ideal for contemporary genres like fusion, industrial and hip-hop subgenres such as trap, the FX Stack excels at creating fresh, electronic-inspired textures on an acoustic kit. Its highly customisable nature also makes it a powerful tool for any drummer looking to explore new sounds, from subtle colouration to bold, in-your-face effects.

• Instant FX Upgrade for Any Kit - The 10" FX Stack drops straight onto a standard cymbal stand to add a dedicated effects voice without reworking your whole setup. It is an easy way to expand your sonic palette with minimal footprint and maximum impact.
• Bright, Musical and Highly Responsive - Voiced to be naturally bright and articulate, the FX Stack responds beautifully to both light touches and aggressive playing. This ensures your accents and textures remain clear and defined, even in dense arrangements.
• Fully Modular Stacking Options - Configure the cymbals in any order, flip them, or use them in a traditional hi-hat style orientation to tailor the sound and feel. You can also combine this 10" Stack with other FX Stack sizes or additional FX cymbals for even more creative possibilities.
• Zildjian I Series Bronze Alloy with Cymbolt Mount - Constructed from upgraded Zildjian I Series Bronze, the FX Stack offers a crisp, modern tonality and reliable durability. The included Cymbolt replaces standard wing nuts and felts, providing quick-release convenience and precise control over stack tension and articulation.
