A Modern Splash for Modern Drummers
Remember the 80s? (Maybe you don’t but we do!) Hairspray cowy boots, neon headbands so bright they could blind a bat…and every drum kit sported a forest of splash cymbals! Fast forward to the 90s and 2000s and those splash cymbals went the way of leg warmers – seen as an embarrassing relic of a bygone era. But trends come full circle. Today, splash cymbals are back, adding explosive bursts of sonic colour to your drumming.
For instance, the following video shows how you could use a trio of the Sultan splashes in a very musical manner…
This lovely demo from our friends in the USA shows how we could have and should have used ’em back in the day! But we had them because at the end of the day, “less isn’t more!”
Forge Your Sonic Signature
The Istanbul Custom Sultan Splash creates a unique sound with its focused and articulate character. These thin cymbals are designed for precision rather than power, making them unsuitable for aggressive playing. Unlathed bands enhance sticking and control overtones, resulting in a precise splash that cuts through the mix cleanly. Unlathed bells further contribute to the distinctive musicality of this series, offering a darker tonal character compared to Istanbul’s Traditional series cymbals.
Find Your Perfect Fit
Istanbul Custom Sultan Splash Cymbals come in a range of sizes to suit your playing style and desired sound:
- 8-inch: Offers a high-pitched, sizzling sound for delicate accents.
- 10-inch: Strikes a balance between attack and sustain, ideal for all-around use.
- 12-inch: Delivers a fuller and more pronounced sound for impactful accents.
With their thin profile and unique sonic characteristics, Istanbul Custom Sultan Splash Cymbals are perfect for drummers who value subtlety and precision. Their bright, cutting sound and fast decay add just the right amount of spice to your performance, making them ideal for dynamic accents and intricate fills (if your MD allows it!) However, they’re best suited for more controlled playing rather than raw aggression. Embrace the return of splash cymbals (we didn’t think we’d be saying this!) with the Sultan series and do it better than we did!
