Sabian 8" HH Splash Cymbal
The 8" HH Splash sits tight in your kit and responds instantly under the stick. Its compact size and thin profile make it a workhorse for fast, articulate accents—tight control with minimal wash. Built from hand-hammered B20 bronze, this cymbal delivers a warm, low-pitched darkness that cuts through a live mix without stepping on your tone. Essential for funk, jazz, and rock players who demand quick definition and precision on stage.
Tone & Character
Hand-hammered B20 bronze gives this splash a distinctly dark, warm character with the sonic complexity only traditional hammering can deliver. The Extra Thin weight keeps it fast and responsive—tight decay and articulation for players who prize definition over ambient wash. Every strike speaks clearly.
Build & Construction
The HH Remastered process applies additional hammering passes across the cymbal's surface, building tonal depth and texture that vintage-voiced splash players expect. The result is greater warmth and character than standard production, giving you a splash that holds up equally well under stage lights or in the studio.
