Product information

General

At just 8 inches in diameter, this Splash is the smallest cymbal in the Zildjian S Family series. If you want to add a sparkling, lively effect to your drum kit or percussion setup, then this Splash is the way to do it! Because the profile is only 8 inches in diameter, it's not the best choice for heavier rock genres, but its short sustain, high pitch, and average volume range make it perfect for fusion, pop, and other light music styles.

Zildjian S Family

Zildjian S Family cymbals are made of B12 alloy, which consists of 88% copper and 12% tin. In order to achieve a new and modern sound from an age-old material, developers in the Zildjian sound lab experimented with different techniques over the course of two years! During that time, they created and tested various designs in the lab as well as in the field, so to speak. The S Family series adds a unique, bright sound to the Zildjian assortment.

Sound characteristics of the S Family series

For starters, the cymbals have a brilliant finish. They have an overwhelmingly clear and expressive sound, and an average volume level range. If we compare the cymbals from the K Custom series, which are all made of B20 alloy, then it would be safe to say that the S Family cymbals boast more clarity and focus. This has to do with the ratio of copper to tin, as well as the production techniques. At the end of the day, Zildjian's S Family cymbals offer a well-balanced frequency response, making them suitable for just about any musical genre you can think of!

Tips or comments about this product

  • When playing a Splash, it's important not to hit the cymbal too hard. The small profile isn't capable of handling large vibrations, and there's a chance the cymbal could crack. If it does, this will happen from the hole in the bell to the edge, or vice versa. Cracks of this kind are usually not covered by the warranty. However, a crack in the bell usually is covered.

Zildjian S Family 8-inch splash

First of all, this is one of the best sounding affordable splash cymbals, on par with an A Custom. The look of the Cymbal is very nice as it is made in the brilliant finish. The sound of this Cymbal is just awesome, very high pitched, rich sounding Cymbal. Very short decay too which helps when doing tom fills with a splash in between.



Overall it’s a great Cymbal!
