7 Different Zildjian Splashes A & K 8", 10", A Custom 6", 8", 10" Flash Splash

[@Анатолий-ч3ц]

*I own the K Custom Dark series, 8", 10", 12". All of them have a quite dark and soft sound. Highly recommend for acquiring!*

[@seanwalton4687]

@@Анатолий-ч3ц I might try those!!

[@Анатолий-ч3ц]

@@seanwalton4687 yeah, every good drummer ought to strive to play these excellent cymbals!

[@lew97]

Finally someone who really compares them!

[@gooberthorpos8195]

The A customs are easily my favourite splashes.

[@aytonkaleb]

That makes two of us

[@eastbaymauiboy]

Both 8 and 10 A Zildjians sound very nice, and the AC 8 is also great.

[@rhythmista7707]

The 8" A splash has the classic ZILDJIAN splash sound and sounds the best to me.

[@5drum5]

Yet another representation as to why Zildjian's are the best!! Quality and sound!

[@alyxl4mb904]

Obviously never heard a paiste cymbal

[@hideandtallow]

really helpful hearing the same cymbal in two sizes , nice job.

[@justmarc2015]

I only like the 6" and 8" A Custom. Nice test.

[@davidsuprenant893]

I've own a 10" k cust.dark for a very long time that I just love.My next one will be an 8" A flash splash,that's for sure.That rag time sound.!!!

[@paulysci925]

good idea and presentation!

[@wahooworld]

very good test, hit the cymbals, let us decide!

[@hardtruth4459]

My 8 in. K splash from the late 80's sounds exactly the same. Love how they keep things consistent and not fix what it isn't broken. A series sound similar if you want to save money and still get zildjian quality. Probably going to buy the 10" a splash to mate with my k. thanks for helping me decide.

[@Craiggg12345]

Had a 10’ K Splash. Sold it and picked up the 10’ FLAsh Splash.

[@greenlichtie]

It's between the A and A custom 10" for me nice wash and tone

[@garydonnelly100]

I'm still waiting for Zildjian to put out a really nasty dirty splash in a similar vein as the Sabian 7" & 10" HHX Evolution. Peter Erskine talks about the Flash splashes as being "dangerous" and that design is in the right direction but still not "dangerous" enough for me. I would just love to have a 6" Zildjian that doesn't sound like a bell...I have both the A and A Custom versions and while they certainly have their place, they don't give me that short, percussive, cutting trash sound that I'd like. Maybe when I grow up and get famous I can sit down with Paul Francis and get a design made. Crap, I'm almost 66...don't think I'm ever gonna grow up. ;)

[@jonn443]

Check out the A Custom 10" EFX and the Sabian AAX Air Splash. They will give you the "dirt" your looking for.

[@DavidKrautscheid]

look out for dream contact,blss or engergy splashes! especially the energy and contact are just perfect kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoTXgGh_q5ytetk

[@whatascunner]

This vid has been really helpful, thanks!

[@AlexRamirezDrummer]

Great video. Thanks

[@zhongxina8426]

the 8" a custom almost sounds like a bell lol

[@sevanyeritsian6139]

yeah :D

[@DavidKrautscheid]

the larger the bell the more a cymbal sounds like a bell

[@kernelxsanders]

I think the 6" sounds much more bell-like. I mean that cymbal is literally almost all bell lol

[@EJ-ge4st]

Yeah I have 2 8” a custom splashes and now I use them in stacks because I couldn’t stand them after I got a 10”

[@Prizmatic1658]

Perfect my man.

[@michaelandcolinspop]

Great video. I’m a weekend warrior and have the 8” and 10” A splashes. They sound so nice together, like they were made out of the same casting on the same day - I got really lucky with them. There’s just something about the full sound of an A that works with everything. The only other splashes I’ve ever used that I felt the same about were the ZXT flash splashes, which are a little darker and louder, but don’t last quite as long and are hard to find now.

[@timmyboy9140]

I love my wuhan splashes...6 8 and 10...60 for all 3

[@levig384]

Such a cute little baby cymbal 😆

[@aytonkaleb]

It's actually like that to have that sound effect, it's an effect cymbal.

[@がしらら]

thank you

[@bpooboi]

Why didn't zildjian do 6inch k splashes!!!!! Damnit

[@loucontino4804]

I'm not a fan of splash cymbals larger than 8". Just not appealing to me.

[@aytonkaleb]

I like 8 10 and 12

[@dilsonluiz3567]

regular A's are better in my opinion.
