Questions about 9" Splash Cymbals

How do 9" splashes differ from 8" splashes?

9" splashes generally offer a slightly longer sustain and a bit more body than their smaller 8" counterparts, providing a more defined shimmer.

Are 9" splashes suitable for heavier music genres?

While possible, 9" splashes are best suited for genres requiring subtlety. Their delicate nature can be lost in louder, more aggressive styles.

What's the difference between a 'trash' splash and a 'traditional' splash?

Trash splashes are designed to be more raw and unpredictable, with a shorter sustain and a more chaotic sound, while traditional splashes aim for a cleaner, more defined shimmer.
