Paiste is one of the largest cymbal and gong manufacturers in the world today. The company was founded in 1906 by Estonian musician Toomas Paiste. Originally, Toomas owned an instrument repair shop in Russia but when an increasing amount of his customers requested he build cymbals for them, Toomas decided to make cymbal making his primary business. The Paiste cymbal company now runs operations out of facilities in both Switzerland and Germany. Paiste currently produces a variety of different cymbal series and alloys along with other items such as hand cymbals, gongs, finger cymbals, and other metal percussion instruments.
A splash cymbal is a specialized type of crash cymbal that can provide more variation in a drummers kit. They range from 6″ – 12″ and have a high pitch, low volume, and short sustain. Splash cymbals are often used in unison with a snare drum or tom drum strike as an accent. You can also use a splash cymbal as your primary crash cymbal in low volume situations. Splash cymbals can be mounted with a traditional cymbal stand however because of their smaller size, they are often mounted with smaller boom arm attachments that allow better placement with less hardware in a drum set. Splash cymbals can also be mounted inverted on top of a traditional crash cymbal. This conserves space and also provides a different look to your cymbal setup.
