Masterwork Custom Splash 10-inch

General

What immediately stands out about this hand-hammered 10-inch splash is the size of the cup. Masterwork is one of the few manufacturers that adjusts the size of the cup to the diameter of the cymbal. As a result, this splash really sounds like a splash, without leaning slightly towards the sound of a bell. In fact, this splash can be seen as a small crash. The cymbal has a pleasant, not too bright sound and possesses a nice, wide mix of frequencies. A nice addition to any setup!

Masterwork Custom Series

Masterwork targets the all-round drummer in particular with its Custom series. The Custom cymbals are completely handmade. This is done entirely according to traditional methods and, not entirely coincidentally, in Istanbul; the capital of cymbals as we know them today. A unique B25 alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% tin is used for all Masterwork cymbals, including the Custom series. Even traces of silver can be found here and there! Masterwork Custom cymbals have a balanced, dynamic, earthy sound with a nice, medium-long sustain. The response and articulation these cymbals offer make every drummer happy.

The frequency range is wide and the overtones we hear sound complex, but not too much. Masterwork cymbals are made by craftsmen who have years of experience in making the perfect cymbals. With the Custom series, Masterwork competes with the well-known, big drum brands. Because Masterwork manages to keep the price relatively low, this brand and this series are very interesting for both beginners and advanced drummers.

Tips or comments about this product

• With splash cymbals, it is important not to hit them too hard. This is because the relatively small cymbal top can only handle a limited amount of vibration. Many cracks (from the rim or from the keyhole) are not covered by the warranty, as they are likely to have been caused by improper use. Cracks that occur around the cup are often covered by the guarantee, but this is always considered on a case-by-case basis.
