Yamaha, I have a 10" A Custom Splash, a 12" Wuhan Splash, and a 12" Agazarian China that I use as a Splash.
How many of you have more than one splash on your kit?
How many of you take the cake and have a 8,10, and 12 inch all on your kit? Do you consider the splash to be the new secondary crash?
I feel like splashes really can add some spice to your crashes and cymbals, especially for example if you hit an 8", then a 10", and back to an 8". i love the sound of it. I'm probably going to add more splash to my kit. Where do you stand? Is one splash enough for you?

I have one splash, a 10". I think it would be cool to have another one but I don't really have the need, the money, or come to think of it, the room for another one.![]()

I only have one now, but I plan on having two. I have a 10" Saluda Nemesis china blast that Im going to mount between my toms for quick easy access, and I want a bigger one to use more like a small crash, say for quieter crash sounds and if I want to hit my crashes in succesion. I love em, and may get more than two.
I have a 10" Zildjian (either ZHT or ZXT, can't remember right now) and it's become my go-to cymbal. I do a crapload of accents with it. I also have a 12" Paiste 402 splash that is absolute garbage but I leave it on my kit because I get separation anxiety when it comes to drum gear. My other "splash" is a 12" Han-Chi (Wuhan, same company) China that actually sounds pretty awesome but for some reason I rarely use it.

Ive got a 10" Paiste Sig splash that i really love. Im happy with just one, I think. No plans to add any more at the moment.
I have a 10" ZHT, but it's not on my kit at the moment. I had to use the extension arm I bought for it for another cymbal. I might trade it in at some point so I can get a Sabian Chopper. I absolutely love how the 10 and 12 inch ones sound together.

I have just one 8" Zildjian K splash that I got for free when I bought my K crash/ride. Before that I had a 10" B8 splash but it got traded in towards the K's. I don't regret it one bit.![]()
I've got two, but only one of them is on the kit. I have a clamp and boom that I could put the other one on, but I'm not really happy with how it sounds.
Mmm... Saturns.

I have 3 on my kit right now. A 10'' Sabian Paragon, a 10'' Zildjian A Custom, and a 12'' Sabian XS20. I love using splashes, especially when I'm playing some funkier grooves.

Meinl Byzance Traditional 10" splash. It sounds amazing. Next splash I think will be an 8" Byzance Traditional.

I just bought my first splash. It's a used 10" Zildjian Custom A and it sounds amazing.

DrummerD, I recently got a 10" used A Custom Splash too. I agree that it's a great Splash.

Currently, I have two.
- 10" Zildjian A Custom
- 8" Zildjian K
I just got the K for free with my new 17" K Custom Dark Crash. GC had a major deal going on where you buy a 16" or bigger K Custom and get an 8" K Splash for free. I have no K's, But K Custom Hybrids. The picture showed a 9" Hybrid Splash. Disappointing, but I honestly can't complain. It's free. And it sounds great.![]()

Right now I have 2 "true" splash cymbals - an 8" Agazarian and 10" B8. I plan to replace the B8 at some point, maybe with another Agazarian, but I'm good for the moment.
Like PB, I have some Wuhan going on too, but a 12" China that I'm only lukewarm on at the moment. It's not bad, but not really what I want or need.
