I bought these specifically because I wanted a little bit more space/spacing between my splashes (most other stackers are shorter).
- The felts included are not actually felt, but foam, which means that they can be twisted out of shape quite easily.
- I needed to move the included washer to sit between the rod and the cymbal felt below; in order to keep the cymbal below in place.
- The cymbal holder is very stable, but you do need to screw it in for a while (but that's probably why it's stable).
Generally, I'm satisfied with these Meinl cymbal holders! They worked as intended (to give some space between pools/cymbals).
