Very usable, but make sure you have alternative nuts and felts
I would consider taking the 6" over the 4" if the underlying cymbal is not much bigger than the top cymbal.
If the underlying cymbal is much bigger, the 4" will do.
Except... when you want to hit the bell of the underlying cymbal...in that case, the 4" will be too short.. So decide what you want carefully.
These stackers are great to exploit a minimal setup and still use more cymbals.
However: when you screw it on the cymbal stand, I can't tighten the underlying cymbal anymore. No more space for the nut.
That underlying cymbal just hangs loose, only with a felt for some protection, but the nut to fasten it doesn't fit anymore, so little diameter cymbals will move around more than it should, let alone what happens with big cymbals which are unsecured with a top nut.
So to secure the underlying cymbal, you'll need to use a less bulkier nut than Gibraltar uses, maybe also less bulkier felts, and the problem is solved.
(that's why you should always have a bucket of that spare stuff lying around)
Cheap, solid and wonderfully usable.

Fantastic way to add more cymbals without taking up more space.
This great little product is a boon to drummers who want to add more cymbals to their kit without taking up space. It works, and is made perfectly, as is to be expected from Gibraltar.
Using either the 4" or 6" stacker, one can put splashes over crashes, bells over trashes, small effects cymbals over trashes over rides. The possibilities are endless. Just make sure smaller cymbals go over larger ones.
Be warned though, upon trying one for the first time, you will want to buy one for every cymbal you have, so small is the footprint and so effective the result.

Does exactly what is needs to do!
I did use a Gibraltar cymbal stacker with side screw, which eventually chewed up the threads on my cymbal stand. Got a new cymbal stand so tried this as a replacement as it is threaded and not side screwed.
Really high quality, felts and wing nut really good. My only complaint is that sometimes mid gig I have to re-tighten it onto my ride cymbal stand as the vibrations caused by my ride cymbal cause it to loosen slightly. This could be prevented by having some kind of nylon somewhere in the threads, much like a locking nut has. However this would probably push the price up if they made this adjustment! Still, very good though!

A good addition to a drumset
I use this stacker for my splash cymbals and it's been doing its' job greatly so far. It is stable and the quality is great. The only thing to improve that I can think of is the fact that it sometimes loosens up and starts to shake as you play, but now that I know it, I just tighten it down a bit more than normally.

the great extender !
Gets the job done, just screw it on your cymbal stand, and you have your splash cymbal just above the bell of your bigger cymbal, or if you need to use a cowbell but don't want to complicate too much with separate stands, just remove the nut
and mount your cowbell on a screw. Great for a percussionist / cajon player who can't mount a cowbell anywhere else.
Just be sure to pick the right model , since there are 2 models with different lengths.

Short but sweet.
This is a slightly lower cymbal stacker from Gibraltar. The metal is a little thinner than some other makes but it fits on fine and...does what it should. IF you are going to give the equipment a hard time it may not last the year out but otherwise this is a neat addition at a great price. I used it to stack some small splish cymbals around my hi-hat and it works just fine, even with being disassembled a couple of times a week.

Great adapter and space saver!!
I fit 4 pieces of these adapters on top of my bigger cymbals, and mounted all my splash cymbals on them. They are very sturdy and I ended up saving alot of valuable cymbal-stand space on my rack. I recommend them to everyone with any size of kit. Big or small. They are very convenient and keep your extra cymbals/stacks close to you, where you need them. Plus, it makes your gear/set-up look great!
