The \"R\" series stands out with a traditional approach (bronze work, hammering), and this \u003cstrong\u003eX-tra Silent FLAT\u003c\/strong\u003e variant has a clear goal: to offer a \u003cstrong\u003epractice cymbal that is even quieter\u003c\/strong\u003e than the standard version, with a simplified and better-controlled sound behavior for daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Agean 12-inch Splash \"R\" Series X-tra Silent FLAT is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner, intermediate, and advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want to practice without overwhelming the sound space. It is particularly relevant for contexts where volume must be kept low: \u003cstrong\u003eapartments\u003c\/strong\u003e, low-level rehearsals, lessons, pre-concert warm-ups, or \u003cstrong\u003esmall acoustic setups\u003c\/strong\u003e. Style-wise, it suits any music requiring quick and controlled accents (pop, funk, modern jazz, contemporary music), with a response designed to remain sober and effective rather than bright and expansive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to the standard \"R\" series, the \u003cstrong\u003eX-tra Silent FLAT\u003c\/strong\u003e version emphasizes a more pronounced sound reduction and a more \"focused\" output. The \u003cstrong\u003eFLAT\u003c\/strong\u003e design promotes a more linear behavior and easier control, while the \u003cstrong\u003eperforations\u003c\/strong\u003e (hand-drilled) help reduce air pressure and thus volume, naturally shortening the sustain. The result: a practice cymbal that maintains a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and a realistic feel under the stick, without generating a wall of harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003eB20\u003c\/strong\u003e alloy (bronze rich in copper and tin, with traces of silver) is traditionally sought after for its complexity and musicality. Here, the \"low noise\" design and \u003cstrong\u003eFLAT\u003c\/strong\u003e profile steer this material toward a more controlled output: the attack remains clear, but the cymbal develops a \u003cstrong\u003edeeper sound\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ereduced harmonic content\u003c\/strong\u003e, so as not to overwhelm the ear in a home environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, you get a splash that responds quickly, with a \u003cstrong\u003eshorter sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e than a classic splash, ideal for working on stroke precision, accent placement, and dynamics. This character makes it particularly interesting for maintaining \"acoustic\" reflexes (rebound, timing, stick control) while significantly limiting sound projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSplash cymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u0026quot;R\u0026quot; Series X-tra Silent FLAT\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003elow-noise practice, small acoustic setups\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHammering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emanual\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerforations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eeach hole is manually drilled one after another\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-tra Silent FLAT specifics (vs. standard \u0026quot;R\u0026quot; series)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eshorter sustain, deeper sound, reduced harmonic content, quieter cymbal for practice\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB20 Bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e80% copper, 20% tin, traces of silver\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgean warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 years, except for splashes and cymbals from the \u0026quot;R\u0026quot; Series, \u0026quot;R\u0026quot; Series Natural, and \u0026quot;R\u0026quot; Series FLAT (recommended adapted playing)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage specified\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eany defect and crack appearing in the groove of the lathing (in the same direction as the lathing lines)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTurkey, Uzunkopru\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Agean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356781760787,"sku":"374414","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/417bcfbd0b6a184c47bd063f8cee78dded044c3d_AGE_RSF12SP.jpg?v=1787302389","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-12-splash-r-series-flat-silent-cymbal-374414","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
