Detail 01
10-inch diameter
About as small as splashes get. Very short decay, cuts and disappears quickly, sits above the rest of the kit.

MEINLClassics Custom Splash - Brilliant 10 in.
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch splash from MEINL's Classics Custom line with a brilliant finish. An accent cymbal for drummers adding quick punctuation to a kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast accents and fills in rock, pop or metal
- Adding a bright hit without crash-length sustain
- Filling a gap in an existing MEINL Classics Custom setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a main crash — 10 inches is too small
- Anyone wanting long, washy sustain
- Players after a dark, dry, jazz-leaning voice
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Splash, not crash
Meant for punctuation, not for holding a section together. It speaks instantly and gets out of the way.
Detail 03
Brilliant finish
Polished surface, brighter and slightly more cutting than a traditional lathed finish, and it shows fingerprints.
Detail 04
Classics Custom line
MEINL's loud, bright, modern-voiced series. Designed to cut through amplified guitars rather than blend quietly.
Detail 05
$89.99
Entry-to-mid price for a splash. Cheap enough to add as a color cymbal without rebuilding the setup.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, arm, felts or sleeve included — mount hardware is separate
- 02Sold as one cymbal, not part of a pack
- 03Splashes crack fastest when hit edge-on with heavy shoulder strokes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use a 10-inch splash as my only crash?
Not really. It decays too fast to carry a crash role. Use it for accents alongside a 16 or 18 inch crash.
02Does it come with a cymbal stand?
No. You need a stand or a splash arm that clamps to existing hardware, plus a felt and sleeve.
03Is it loud enough for a live band?
Yes. The Classics Custom line is voiced bright and cutting, and the brilliant finish adds attack.
04Will it match other Classics Custom cymbals?
Yes, it is the same line, so voicing and finish line up with other Classics Custom brilliant models.
