Agean 10" SPLASH NATURAL

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Made in Turkey, Agean cymbals continue an ancestral know-how of hammering and casting. The "Natural" series is distinguished by its raw surface, without lathing, to preserve an earthy and low-brightness sound signature. Within the manufacturer's range, it targets drummers seeking an authentic acoustic aesthetic and a dry response, opposite to the shinier and more sparkling series.

Who This Cymbal Is For

With its 10-inch diameter and short sustain, this splash is suitable for beginner to advanced drummers who want to punctuate their playing with short accents. Perfect for acoustic, indie, jazz, fusion, world music or studio use when avoiding lingering sound tails. It also integrates very well in stacks for more "trash" textures at controlled volume.

Features and Innovations

Machined from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin, traces of silver), this splash is entirely hand-hammered to balance attack and musicality. The absence of lathing limits brightness and focuses energy on an immediate attack, with sufficient projection without aggressiveness. The 10" format delivers a clear impulse, easy to place between snare and hi-hat, and remains controllable on compact or hybrid kits.

Sound

B20 is known for its rich harmonics and complexity. Here, the raw finish narrows the spectrum towards the midrange, softens sparkling highs, and produces a more dry, earthy, and discreet timbre. The hand hammering adds micro-variations that bring character without lengthening the sustain. Result: a splash with a bright attack, rather high pitch, short sustain, and very little brightness, ideal for quick accents that do not mask the rest of the kit.
