So im looking for a splash cymbal, but don't know what size or kind to get. I want another Sabian to stick with the same brand but if theres just an outstanding one in another company I'll buy it.im going for an 8" or 10" splash but I don't know whats better. So help would be appreciated

I'm also considering 1 or 2 new splashes, these Wuhans look pretty good and the price is great. :thumb:

10" AAX. Cant go wrong. Its the basic splash sound. If you want darker, get a HHX 10". If you want brighter, Pro 10" or B8 Pro 10"

10" K

not very agressive but it blends like a white man in jail.

i'm obsessed with the 10" A splash, sounds really versatile and perfect for any kind of music really.

As far as Sabian, I'd say try a 10" HHX Evo, they sound pretty damn badass.

10" A or A Custom are both very versatile. 8" and 12" A's also sound great. Bright, quick, cutting.

If you want to stick to Sabian get 8" or 10" AA or AAX.

^Indeed. I love my 6" and 10" A Customs. They sound beautiful :cool:

The 6" A customs have an almost "bell" like tone to em. I love those things.
Half Life
10-31-2005, 11:27 PM
Yeah, that's one of the reasons I like it so much. It's so fast and high pitched. Very penetrating. My EFX #1 has quite the bell tone to it though. It sustains FOREVER...which is cool :lol:

Haha yea those are cool! You don't see many people with em either.
