Frequently asked questions
Can I use either of these in a drum kit?
The XSR splash cymbal is purpose-built for drum kits in rock and fusion styles. The triangle is a standalone percussion instrument traditionally used in orchestras and ensembles, not as part of a drum kit.
Which has a longer sustain?
The SABIAN 6" HH B8 Triangle is specifically designed for long sustain and rich shimmer. The XSR Splash Cymbal has a short, controlled sustain to maintain definition in high-energy playing.
What is the material difference between these two?
The triangle uses hand-hammered B8 bronze (8% tin, 92% copper with trace silver). The splash cymbal uses B20 bronze, which contains more tin and is a different alloy composition optimized for cymbal brightness and articulation.
Which is better for beginners?
Both are labeled suitable for all skill levels including beginners. The triangle suits beginners in orchestra or ensemble settings; the splash suits beginners learning drum kit in rock and modern styles.
