Zildjian K Splash 10" Splash Cymbal
Zildjian K 10" splash: dark, full-bodied and very quick, a brief accent that can be heard in a band.
The K Splash 10" is a thin splash cymbal with a dark voice, a little lower and fuller than the 8", that dies away very quickly after the attack. It is the size to pick when you want a single splash that can be heard in a band.
What sets it apart
- A dark crash with a full body
- Very quick response
- Very short decay
- A versatile size, between the 8" and the 12"
An accent you can hear
Zildjian points out that diameter sets volume: the bigger the cymbal, the more it carries. At 10", the K Splash gains presence over the 8" (sustain 3 versus 2, definition 3 versus 2) while staying a splash, quick and brief. It cuts through a wall of guitars without turning into a small crash.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a splash cymbal necessary?
- No, a kit works perfectly well without one. But it is the easiest cymbal to add for more varied accents, and a 10" almost always finds a spot.
- How loud is a 10" splash?
- Quieter than a crash, since volume follows diameter. It is still present enough to be heard in a band, then it dies away very quickly.
- How do you hit a splash?
- With a short stroke near the edge, the area Zildjian describes as responding immediately, then let the stick bounce off so you don't choke the cymbal.
