Sabian 8" HH Splash

Sabian 8" HH Splash Cymbal

The 8" HH Splash is a quick-response, compact cymbal that sits comfortably in tight kit setups and delivers articulate attacks with minimal sustain. Its small diameter and thin profile make it nimble and reactive under the stick, while the hand-hammered construction imparts a warm, low-pitched darkness that cuts through without harshness. This cymbal excels in funk, jazz, and rock contexts where fast, tightly controlled accents are essential.

Tone & Character

Built from B20 bronze and extensively hand-hammered, this cymbal produces a distinctly dark, warm tone with the complexity that only traditional hammering techniques can achieve. The Extra Thin weight ensures fast response and minimal decay, making it ideal for tight, articulate playing styles where definition matters more than wash.

Build & Construction

The HH Remastered process applies additional hammering passes to maximize tonal complexity and sonic texture across the cymbal's surface. This approach delivers greater warmth and character than standard production methods, resulting in a vintage-voiced splash that performs equally well in studio and live settings.
