This 3-way stack consists of bottom and top pieces with different hole types and different locations put on unlathed blanks, as well as a lathed/polished very thin china in between, completing the stack.
As the top and bottom pieces are designed in different ways and different weights, Shaman can be played in many different combinations. The 3-way stack is still realistic, natural and dark, even though it produces different sounds in different combinations, thus characterizing a Pergamon cymbal.
