Splash Cymbal
The Zildjian K Family 12" Splash develops an ultra-fast attack with very short decay and a dark tone typical of the K series. Its warm, expressive character provides precise accents in jazz, fusion, funk or modern rock. A fine, musical splash designed for drummers who like rich textures and immediate response.

Presentation
The Zildjian K Family 12" Splash is aimed at drummers looking for fast accents with more depth and musicality than a classic bright splash. Faithful to the sonic identity of the K series, it develops a dark, warm and highly expressive sound, with an immediate attack followed by a particularly short decay.
Thanks to its extra-thin weight and 12-inch diameter, this splash reacts instantly under the sticks. Accents remain fast, precise and easy to place in the playing without cluttering up the mix. Its darker character also brings a more organic texture, much appreciated in contexts where nuance and sonic colour count as much as power.
Made from B20 alloy and hammered, it develops complex harmonics reminiscent of the historic heritage of Zildjian K cymbals. This sonic personality has left its mark on drummers such as Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and Art Blakey, renowned for their highly expressive approach to playing.
This splash easily finds its place in jazz, fusion, funk, modern rock or experimental worlds, particularly for drummers looking for fast accents with more character and finesse.
