Medium Thin Splash Cymbals

Splash cymbals may be on the small side, but most of them are surprisingly thick - as they have to be to withstand hard, fast playing styles. But not every drummer plays that way, and if your music calls for a softer touch and something quieter, you might find the perfect fit for you here in this lineup of medium-thin splash cymbals. Like all cymbals on the lighter end of the spectrum, they're nimble performers that attack and decay quickly, allowing you to pull off delicate work that a thicker cymbal may not have the snappiness to handle. The only catch is that these cymbals aren't for abusing; but treat them right, and they'll do right by you in return!

So what kind of medium-thin splash would make the best addition to your setup? That depends on what you're looking for. Maybe you like a cymbal that's bright, silvery and sizzling with an eye-catching reflective finish? That would probably be the Paiste Signature Reflector Splash Cymbal 10 in., which looks as good as it sounds. On the other hand, if you prefer your cymbals with a rougher-hewn finish and warmer, fuller tone, you'll probably want to look at something like the Paiste PST 5 Splash 10 in., which comes with a slew of 5-star reviews to back up its well-earned top rating.

Of course, reviews and ratings only tell one part of the story, and they're nowhere near as important as your personal tastes and preferences. Go ahead and use the words of other musicians as a guide, but don't forget to stay true to yourself: consider how each of these medium-thin splash cymbals might fit into your sound and playing style before you make your decision. All it takes is a little bit of time and thought to be certain you're making the right pick, and it will pay off in the long run when you've got a new splash cymbal that's perfect for you.
