All this talk of little chinas is making me think about ordering a 13" or a 12" diamond china (pre aged finish, and a 8" diamond splash (pre aged finish) and turning them into my own max stack. (or should I use diamond and another series like earth works or ion to get two diffrent sounds)?

That, my friend, is only limited by your imagination.

i always keep an eye out on ebay for saludas and it seems that jamie makes a good number of actual stacks...usually a hybrid x small top china over some kind of specialty mist x splash. talk to him and see what he can do.

how do these stacks work? Do you just plunck one cymbal on top of another?

Pictures for ideas?

What do they sound like?

Saluda has an ebay auction up now that's a stack of a Hybrid X china on top of an Earthworks crash. You should check it out if you're not sure how to make a stack. It has pictures and everything.
Here's the link:
