{"product_id":"meinl-splash-classic-custom-8-dark-379025","title":"8\" CLASSICS CUSTOM DARK SPLASH","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis splash belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eMeinl Classics Custom Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e family, designed to offer a contemporary sound that is both direct and musical, with a darker visual signature. In a kit, it naturally complements the crashes and rides of the same series by providing a short, precise, and immediately recognizable effect. It is a relevant choice to homogenize the overall color of your kit while adding a touch of instant impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch splash\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eserious beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e looking for a responsive effect that is simple to integrate and effective in performance. It is particularly suitable for styles where accents need to stand out without overwhelming the space: \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emodern metal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003egospel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both in the studio and on stage, its compact size allows for multiple punctuations and quick transitions without sonic overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e, this splash favors a \u003cstrong\u003equick vibration response\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eshort decay\u003c\/strong\u003e, helping to maintain clarity in playing even at high volumes. The \u003cstrong\u003eB10 bronze alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e provides definition and a clear attack while retaining enough body so the effect doesn't sound \"thin.\" The \u003cstrong\u003edark finish\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the sense of control and promotes a tighter sound, particularly useful when you want to add color without extending the sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA splash cymbal is designed to deliver a quick effect, but its personality strongly depends on the metal used. Here, the \u003cstrong\u003eB10 bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e is very well balanced: it maintains a \u003cstrong\u003eclean attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eclear projection\u003c\/strong\u003e, with controlled brightness. The result: hits stand out clearly with a sense of precision, and the cymbal remains intelligible in busy playing (ghost notes, sixteenth notes, breaks).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edark finish\u003c\/strong\u003e steers the tone toward a darker, more controlled character. You get a splash that is both punchy and less intrusive, with a shorter tail and a more focused presence. It's an excellent option for thickening a groove (small punctuations, responses to the hi-hat, offbeat effects) or highlighting a passage without lengthening the overall kit resonance.\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\"\u003e8 inches\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\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB10 bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edark\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\u003eRole\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eshort effects, accents, punctuations, transitions\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003efast attack, short sustain, controlled output\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended styles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003erock, pop, funk, modern metal, fusion\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\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecompatible with a standard cymbal stand (felt pads and cymbal sleeve according to your hardware)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested placement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enear the ride or above the toms for quick access to accents\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360748359955,"sku":"379025","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/488bde4b545fc2f1cae5519ca51f89bce8e30378_CC8DAS.jpg?v=1787395104","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-8-classics-custom-dark-splash-379025","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
