Customize your Stax, YOUR WAY by adding a single layer of a different size to your existing set!
 
Our Hex Stax are meant to be played as a set of 3 layers or more.  We do not recommend playing them as a single layer.  You will not achieve the desired, trashy sound with only one layer.
 
We sell single layers so you can build your own set of 3 and have the ability to customize the sizes.  For instance, a set of 3 made from 7", 9" and 11" singles sounds amazing and will give you a different sound than a set of three 9" layers will.   If you are looking to diversify a set of 3 that you already have, add an additional layer of a different size.
 
Ways to Mix and Match:
3 Different sizes, like one of each, 7", 9", 11"
2 Small with 1 Large
Small set of 3 Stax with Modular System Items
Large set of 3 Stax with a Triangle Jingle, on the top or bottom
These are just a few examples of what you can do.
 
By combining your choice of sizes of the Hex Stax with components of our Modular System, in at least 3 layers, the possibilities are endless!  The  Hex Stax were developed to give each drummer the ability to mix and match our metal products without having to buy unnecessary or duplicate parts each time they want to add to their sound.  You buy only the sizes you want.
 
Find YOUR sound, YOUR way!  
 
All Single Stax are made with the same process as our Stax sets and can be maintained in the same manner (see maintenance tip below).
 
While we do oil all our metal products before they leave the shop, the Stax will oxidize over time.  This oxidation is part of the organic look we were going for.  Here at the Creative Percussion shop in the Northeast, we have a high moisture content which helps speed the aging and oxidation along a little faster.  Depending on the climate you live in, you may see varying degrees of rust on your Hex Metal products over time as well.
Most people are loving the way their Hex Metal products have aged, but we realize that some people may prefer a cleaner, low-luster, oil-rubbed finish.
 
Here's how to get a low-sheen, oil-rubbed look:
Apply a thin layer of WD-40 to your metal product.
Rub the surface with a clean dry cloth to ensure even coating. 
Depending on your level of rust, it may take several repetitions to remove. 
Let your Stax sit overnight then buff any excess oil off with a paper towel. 
 
This simple maintenance option may not remove the rust entirely; however, it will take the exterior surface rust off.  The finish will have a low sheen to it, and you can reapply the oil as often as needed.
