In a drum kit , splash cymbals are the smallest accent cymbals , often a smaller derivative of the more common crash cymbals . Splash cymbals and china cymbals are the main types of effects cymbals .

304-424: A china splash as the upper cymbal. Portnoy mounted both cymbals bell up, with no spacing felt, to maximize contact between them, and choosing cymbals of sufficiently different profile to ensure that the contact was not enough to choke them completely. As the technique became established, cymbal makers introduced specialized stack cymbals designed specifically for use in stacks. However the older technique, using
342-446: A china splash on top of a crash, china or another splash, also remains popular. Stacking should not be confused with piggybacking , in which the upper cymbal is bell down, the lower cymbal bell up, and a spacing felt is used between the cymbal bells, preventing any contact. Piggybacking is a method of mounting a splash cymbal, mostly restricted to small splashes, by simply placing it inverted above another cymbal, with which it shares
380-450: A diameter of 10", followed by 8". Most splash cymbals are in the size range of 6" to 13", but some splash cymbals are as small as 4". Some makers have produced cymbals described as splash up to 22", but a splash of 14" or more is more often described as a crash cymbal. Splash cymbals include: The original and traditional splash , like many of the cymbal types in a drum kit , was invented and named by Gene Krupa in collaboration with

#1732858262889456-400: A felt when buying their first splash. Unfortunately, the metal to metal contact and the playing of the upturned splash rim both decrease the life of the cymbal, particularly at the hands of a beginner. The lower cymbal of the piggyback is often a crash, or less often a ride , but larger splashes and even chinas can be used. The upper cymbal could in theory be any cymbal small enough to allow
494-486: A larger cymbal, particularly to salvage something from one that was badly split at the edge. Bell cymbals range in shape from deep and cuplike, similar in shape to a church bell , to a traditional cymbal shape, almost flat, and many in between. Small sizzle cymbals , and splash cymbals with sizzler attachments, give an even shorter, washier tone than a traditional splash. Specialised thin stack cymbals , 8"-12", are designed specifically for stacking , most commonly as
532-438: A quick attack and decay. They tend to have little taper in order to provide the necessary strength for this, the bell being approximately the same thickness as the rim, resulting in limited richness of tone. Rock musicians favor a heavier splash cymbal often with a slight taper, 6"-12", giving a fuller sound at higher volumes. China type cymbals of less than 14" are generally referred to as china splash cymbals when used in
570-421: Is restricted to splash cymbals owing to the weight of other cymbal types, but similar mounts, traditionally on the top of the rear rim of the bass drum but also on other drums, are occasionally used for other lightweight accent effects, particularly a cowbell and/or a wood block . A cymbal stack is a combination of two or more cymbals mounted in contact, producing a sound unlike any single cymbal. The effect
608-413: Is similar to a loosely closed hi-hat , or can alternatively be seen as an extreme case of a sizzle cymbal with the upper cymbal serving as a single large jangle. The exact effect is dependent on the tension on the mounting bolt, and with some combinations can be varied from a very short crunch to a much longer buzz. This technique was pioneered by Dave Weckl , Mike Portnoy and others, originally using

722-698: The Avedis Zildjian Company . Widely used in the jazz music of the 1920s and 30s, this traditional splash cymbal was not seen for many years in mainstream music for years until drummers such as Ringo Starr started to use them. Stewart Copeland playing in The Police brought it back to prominence. Thanks to a toy cymbal he found in a trip in Asia and which he brought to Paiste , heavier splash cymbals, more suited to this style of drumming , were soon available and started being heavily commercialized.

988-456: The bells of the two cymbals, to eliminate any direct contact between the cymbals and retain the tone of each. However the slight contact between the bells if the extra felt is not used affects the tone of each cymbal only subtly, and some drummers like the tonal connection that results. Beginners sometimes use this technique for another reason entirely: The mounting bolt may not be long enough to allow an extra felt, or they may simply not have bought
1026-409: The development of splash cymbals occurred when china splash cymbals became popular. These added a new dimension to drumming in their own right, and also led to the development of cymbal stacks . Several other types that are now regarded as splash cymbals, such as bell and salsa cymbals, have more quietly been added to the kits of leading drummers and to the catalogues of major cymbal manufacturers over
1064-490: The double stand, is primarily a method of mounting the splash cymbal, without producing any major difference in the tone of either cymbal. Advantages of piggyback mounting are: Disadvantages are: Many china splash cymbals and some bell cymbals are designed to be mounted bell down, and are particularly suited to piggyback mounting. Other splash cymbals, however, are very rarely mounted bell down except when piggybacked. Most but not all drummers put an additional felt between

1140-615: The heavier 10" rounded bell model is called a china splash . This is not entirely illogical; Many of these cymbals have little or no taper, and as a result some of the heavier ones, unlike most splash cymbals, can be used as an exotic ride cymbal at moderate volume. The 8" and 10" Sabian Rocktagon splash cymbals, smaller versions of their octagonal 16" and 18" Rocktagon crashes, are sometimes described as china splashes and have an intermediate tone. China splashes were used in Mike Portnoy's original cymbal stacks , and remain popular as
1178-487: The more expensive and professional cymbal series. At the thinnest and most fragile end of the scale, a thin splash is identical to, and interchangeable with, a cymbal designed for playing by hand rather than by stick. And in either case, a single careless stroke with a drumstick will split the cymbal. Bell cymbals , 4"-8" or occasionally bigger, are extremely thick cymbals giving a bell-like tone. Paiste makes one in 13". The earliest bell cymbals were made by cutting down

1216-424: The mounting bolt and its sheath, washers if used and wingnut. A spacing felt is normally used to separate the cymbals, serving as the top felt of the lower cymbal and the bottom felt of the upper cymbal in order to avoid cymbal cracking. There is an essential difference between this technique and stacking . A cymbal stack produces a different sound to that produced by either cymbal individually. The piggyback, like
1254-595: The three-cymbal combination, and most cymbals of all such sets are designed to also be stacked with other cymbals, giving a very wide range of tonal possibilities. Similarly, despite the availability of these cymbals specifically designed for stacking, many drummers still use a china or a splash as the upper cymbal. Examples: The splash cymbal, because of its varied usage and small size, is mounted in many ways. Some common ways are: Several of these techniques, notably stacking and piggybacking , are very rarely used for cymbals other than splash cymbals. The rim-mounted boom

1368-597: The top cymbal in a stack. Examples: A salsa splash is a small cymbal primarily intended for use with a set of timbales . Use of a cymbal or cowbell (but by tradition, never both) is a fundamental part of many styles of timbale playing. Example: Thin splash cymbals are made in sizes 8"-12" with a pronounced taper and a sound more akin to a crash than to traditional splashes. They are fragile and unsuitable for inexperienced drummers, and even then suitable only for quieter playing, and generally only available in B20 alloy and in
1406-437: The upper cymbal. They are available individually or, more recently, in sets of two or three, including larger cymbals intended primarily as the lower cymbal or cymbals. These sets have provided new sounds but have not replaced the established technique of using a china, crash or another splash as the upper cymbal of a stack. Generally, the three way sets are designed to make possible several usable two-cymbal stacks in addition to

Traditional splash cymbals, as first popularized by Gene Krupa , are 8"-12" in size and medium in weight with little or no taper and therefore a thick rim for their size. The normal function of a splash cymbal is to provide a short, often highly syncopated accent. For their size, they are hit relatively hard to produce
