Splash Cymbals

Add bright, fast, and immediate "splash" accents to your drumming with Splash Cymbals. These small-diameter effects cymbals offer a quick, sharp burst of sound with a very short decay, providing the perfect percussive punctuation for subtle fills, transitions, and dynamic highlights across a variety of musical styles.

This category features a wide range of splash cymbals, typically available in sizes ranging from 6" to 12". Drummers can find options in various weights and profiles including thin splashes, bell splashes, and raw finishes—allowing for precise customization of tone, from a delicate chime to a fast, cutting "trash" sound suitable for pop, jazz, rock, metal, studio, and orchestral music.

Splash cymbals are highly versatile and are used in nearly every musical context where quick accents are required. They are a valuable addition to both beginner kits and professional touring setups, offering an efficient way to expand a drummer's sonic palette without adding significant volume or footprint.

Modern splash cymbals are crafted from high-quality bronze alloys such as B20 and B8, leveraging expert lathing and hammering techniques to ensure consistency and durability. Their small size is specifically engineered to produce a fast attack and rapid fade, making them highly responsive even to light touches.

Splash cymbals are often mounted using cymbal stackers, multi-clamps, or dedicated boom stands, frequently positioned close to existing crash or ride cymbals for easy access. They work effectively as an auxiliary sound source alongside hi-hats, China cymbals, and snare drums to create dynamic contrast. From tiny, brilliant 6-inch accents to slightly larger, darker 12-inch splashes, splash cymbals provide the versatility, immediacy, and unique tone that drummers rely on for creative and expressive playing.
