{"product_id":"meinl-splash-8-pure-alloy-custom-379138","title":"8\" PURE ALLOY CUSTOM SPLASH","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical context and positioning in the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy Custom\u003c\/strong\u003e series, Meinl offers a decidedly modern approach to cymbals: a clear and articulated character, dynamics that are easy to control, and a sonic aesthetic suited to contemporary setups. The 8-inch splash fits this logic as a compact \u003cstrong\u003eeffect cymbal\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to add sharp percussive touches without overwhelming the sound space, while maintaining a timbral identity consistent with the rest of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho this drum\/splash is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis splash is aimed both at the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e drummer looking to enrich their kit with an easy-to-use effect cymbal, and at the \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e musician seeking a reliable, precise, and consistent splash for live performance. Its size and behavior make it particularly relevant for styles where \u003cstrong\u003edefinition\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eclean attacks\u003c\/strong\u003e matter: pop, funk, modern rock, indie, gospel, urban music, but also metal (for short accents) whenever a clear punctuation without excessive sustain is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Meinl \u003cstrong\u003ePure Alloy Custom\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-inch splash is designed to multiply orchestration possibilities around the kit: quick \"splash\" accents above a hi-hat\/ride pair, short responses on snare drum figures, or more creative effects when combined with another cymbal (stack). Its compact size promotes \u003cstrong\u003einstant vibration\u003c\/strong\u003e, while maintaining a controlled feel under the stick, even at moderate volume. In a studio-oriented setup, it helps shape clean transients and place punctuations without masking melodic elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn 8-inch splash is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003every fast attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eshort decay\u003c\/strong\u003e: this is exactly what makes it so effective for marking rhythmic intent without lengthening the note. Within the Pure Alloy Custom family, a controlled brightness and marked definition are generally sought, allowing the splash to remain clear even when the band plays densely. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003eclear and clean splash\u003c\/strong\u003e effect, with enough projection to stand out, but a sustain that fades quickly to let the groove breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with all cymbals of this type, its personality also comes from the balance between \u003cstrong\u003eprofile, thickness, and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. In this size, the touch is often direct: the cymbal speaks quickly, delivers a sense of precision, and suits drummers who build their dynamics with the right hand (ghost notes, fine orchestrations) while keeping sharp accents. Positioned as the main splash or as a secondary splash (above the hi-hat, on the ride side, or near a high tom), it becomes a formidable tool to energize transitions and enrich colors without complicating the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMeinl\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eeffect cymbal with quick response\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePure Alloy Custom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efast\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSplash cymbal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eshort\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebright and defined, designed to remain clear in the mix\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePure Alloy (series alloy)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ecompatible with standard cymbal stands (felts and cymbal post)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359166910739,"sku":"379138","price":138.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/513bc23f39c18905937600caf50e70d6439643cf_PAC8S.jpg?v=1792578195","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-8-pure-alloy-custom-splash-379138","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
