This 12 in Signature Splash is a seriously gorgeous cymbal.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Signature Splash offers a more complex, nuanced sound with greater projection; the Twenty series is more focused and direct, often considered a bit more budget-friendly.
While it’s versatile, the thin profile means it’s better suited for controlled dynamics; aggressive playing could risk damage and diminish its unique tonal qualities.
A lighter-to-medium weight stick with a nylon tip will allow you to fully appreciate the splash’s sensitivity and prevent harshness; avoid heavy sticks that can overpower its delicate character.
