Detail 01
8 inch
The small end of splash sizes. Very high pitch, near-instant decay, so accents cut and clear out fast.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8-inch brilliant-finish splash at $79.99. A short, high accent cymbal for drummers who want quick punctuation without adding wash.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast accents and fills that need to stop immediately
- Adding a high voice to a kit that already has crashes
- Small kits where a full crash would be too much
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a main crash — this won't sustain
- Drummers wanting dark or trashy accent sounds
- Setups without a spare stand or arm to mount it
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 a crash
Designed to speak and die quickly. It punctuates a phrase instead of filling the space behind it.
Detail 03
Medium weight
Enough body that it holds up to hard hits and stays audible over loud guitars, unlike very thin splashes.
Detail 04
Brilliant finish
Polished surface. Brighter, glassier attack and more visual shine, but fingerprints show.
Detail 05
Classics Custom line
Same tonal family as the rest of the series, so it blends if you already own Classics Custom cymbals.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, arm, felt or sleeve included
- 02Needs a mount — a clamp on an existing stand is the usual solution
- 038 inch is small; go 10 inch if you want more body
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is a splash cymbal for?
Short accents. It speaks instantly and decays fast, so you get punctuation in a fill or phrase without lingering wash.
02Can I use this as my only crash?
No. At 8 inches it has almost no sustain. You need a proper crash for full accents.
03How do I mount it?
Most drummers use a clamp and short arm attached to an existing cymbal or tom stand. Neither is included here.
04Should I get 8 inch or 10 inch?
8 inch is higher and shorter — sharper punctuation. 10 inch gives more body and a touch more sustain. Pick by how much presence you want.
