This 12\" splash is made in \u003cstrong\u003eUzunköprü\u003c\/strong\u003e, Turkey, a well-known expertise within Agean for offering cymbals with a strong character, while here aiming for a more discreet use thanks to a \"silent\" design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the range, this R Series positions itself as a particularly interesting solution for drummers who want to retain the sound signature of \u003cstrong\u003eB20\u003c\/strong\u003e and a true playing feel, where many practice cymbals primarily focus on volume reduction at the expense of tone and musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003esilent splash cymbal\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable for drummers of all levels, from beginners who need to practice at home to experienced musicians looking for a low-projection splash for specific contexts. It is especially suited for \u003cstrong\u003epractice\u003c\/strong\u003e, rehearsals at controlled volume, and \u003cstrong\u003esmall acoustic setups\u003c\/strong\u003e where the overall balance must remain natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, its 12\" splash format makes it relevant for accentuating quick hits in pop, funk, jazz, fusion, gospel, or contemporary music, while limiting volume increase. It can also be a smart choice as a secondary set cymbal, to add colors without overwhelming the sound space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"silent\" concept is based on a design focused on air circulation: the \u003cstrong\u003eholes are hand-drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e, one by one, to achieve volume reduction while maintaining a credible rebound and usable attack. Combined with \u003cstrong\u003etraditional manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e, this process aims to avoid the too \"flat\" effect often found on classic practice cymbals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe use of \u003cstrong\u003eB20 Bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e (the historic alloy of high-end cymbals) is a strong point for those who want a more organic, nuanced splash with a more musical output even at low volume. The result: a cymbal designed for frequent playing at low volume without giving up a true sonic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the \u003cstrong\u003eB20 Bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e, this 12\" splash offers a more defined attack and a richer harmonic spectrum than a silent cymbal made from simpler alloys. B20 generally provides a sense of complexity in the upper spectrum, with a more \"cymbal-like\" character in the tone, even when the projection is deliberately contained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multiple drilling reduces air pressure and limits power, naturally shortening sustain and making the accent more controllable. This results in a responsive splash, practical for clean punctuations without aggressive volume peaks. It is a very effective approach for working on dynamics, stroke precision, and rhythmic placement, while maintaining a coherent sound in environments sensitive to volume levels.\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\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12\u0026quot; Splash\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\u0026quot;\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eR Series\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\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB20 Bronze (80 percent copper - 20 percent tin - traces of silver)\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\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 years (except splashes and cymbals from the R Series, which require particularly adapted playing)\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":54357560623379,"sku":"293865","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/e83b925f5bd6d3192875d38f057e3f1bc4d7249b_AGE_RS12SP.jpg?v=1787323307","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-12-splash-r-series-silent-cymbal-293865","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
