COMPASS is a multi-purpose fixed-target experiment at the CERN Super Proton
Synchrotron aimed at studying the structure and spectrum of hadrons. One
primary goal is the search for new hadronic states, in particular spin-exotic
mesons and glueballs. We present recent results of partial-wave analyses of
(3\pi)^- and \pi^-\eta' final states based on a large data set of diffractive
dissociation of a 190 GeV/c \pi^- beam on a proton target in the squared
four-momentum-transfer range 0.1 < t' < 1 (GeV/c)^2. We also show first results
from a partial-wave analysis of diffractive dissociation of K^- into
K^-\pi^+\pi^- final states are presented.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, proceedings of the "19th Particles and Nuclei
