About 8" Splash Cymbals

Choosing the right splash can dramatically enhance a kit's overall sonic palette.

Frequently Asked Questions About 8" Splash Cymbals
A thinner splash will produce a higher, more shimmering tone with quicker decay, while a heavier splash offers a darker, more sustained sound.
While possible, 8” splashes are generally better suited for quieter genres. Their smaller size means they lack the volume to effectively cut through very loud bands.
Brilliant finishes are shiny and offer a brighter, more cutting sound, while brushed finishes have a textured surface that produces a darker, more complex tone.
