Detail 01
10-inch diameter
Small enough to speak instantly and die fast. Bigger splashes hang around longer and blur fast passages.

SABIANHHX Evolution Series Splash Cymbal 10 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch splash from Sabian's HHX line. Fast, short accent cymbal for drummers who want a punctuation mark, not a crash.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding quick accents over a busy groove
- Studio work where a full crash washes over the mix
- Small kits where a crash would be too much cymbal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a main crash or ride
- Players wanting a single first cymbal purchase
- Anyone who needs long sustain from an accent
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 for a short burst with almost no wash, so it cuts without covering the rest of the kit.
Detail 03
HHX series
Sabian's darker, drier hand-hammered line. Reads warmer and less glassy than their brighter series.
Detail 04
Hand-hammered construction
Irregular hammering spreads the overtones, giving a more complex voice than machine-pressed cymbals.
Detail 05
Cast bronze
Cast cymbals develop tone and hold up under repeated striking better than sheet bronze at lower price points.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cymbal only. You need a stand or a mount arm

- 03A splash accents. It will not cover crash or ride duties
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a separate stand?
Yes. Either a short splash stand or a clamp-on arm off an existing cymbal stand or the bass drum hoop.
02How is this different from a crash?
A splash speaks and decays almost immediately. A crash builds a wash that sustains for seconds.
03Is 10 inches too small?
Ten inches is the common splash size. Eight inches is tighter and more percussive, twelve is closer to a mini crash.
04Will this work for quiet playing?
Yes. Its short decay keeps it from dominating, though it still speaks with a clear attack.
