SABIANAAX Splash Cymbal 10 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
10-inch splash from Sabian's AAX line. A short, bright accent cymbal for drummers adding quick punctuation to fills and grooves.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Quick accents that need to stop immediately
- Adding a high voice above existing crashes
- Tight studio work where long sustain gets in the way
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers still missing a main crash or ride
- Anyone needing volume to cut through a loud band
- Players wanting sustain — splashes decay almost instantly
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
AAX line
Sabian's bright, modern voice. Cuts cleanly and stays articulate rather than washing out.
Detail 03
Splash cymbal
An effect voice, not a main crash. Very short decay, low volume, meant for punctuation rather than sustained accents.
Detail 04
$189.99 price
Priced as a professional accent cymbal. Cheaper than a full crash because of the smaller size, not lower build tier.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is a splash cymbal for?
Short, bright accents. It speaks instantly and stops almost immediately, so you can punctuate a groove or fill without adding sustained wash over the next beat.
02Is 10 inches the right splash size?
It is the common starting size. Smaller splashes are higher and shorter; larger ones give a bit more body. A 10 sits in the middle and works on most kits.
03How do I mount it?
Either on its own short cymbal stand or on a clamp attached to an existing stand or arm. Neither is included.
04Can it replace a crash?
No. A splash is quieter and decays too fast to function as a main crash. It is a supplemental accent voice alongside a full-size crash.
