SABIAN 10″ AA Splash Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 10″ AA Splash Brilliant Finish

The SABIAN 10″ AA Splash captures crisp, cutting articulation with a fast attack and shimmering decay that cuts through dense mixes. Its compact size and extra-thin weight make it exceptionally responsive to light touch, rewarding precise technique and dynamic control in the studio. This vintage-style cymbal serves as a versatile accent voice for rock, punk, and fusion tracking, delivering definition and brightness that translate clearly to recordings.

Sound & Characteristics

Built from B20 bronze (bronze, tin, and silver composition), this splash produces a bright, glassy shimmer with excellent projection for its size. The extra-thin weight ensures quick response and a tight, snappy sustain ideal for quick accents and layered color tones in session work.

Construction & Design

The brilliant finish polished surface delivers a mirror-like appearance while contributing to the cymbal’s bright, cutting voice. Traditional lathing patterns across the working surface provide consistent stick definition and tonal clarity across the striking zones, ensuring reliable tracking performance across multiple takes.
