errr... how to use splash? :P
perhaps some of you consider this question stupid but I have a splash but i do not use it rather often. mostly, i use it as a crash, as a accent hit and during my play it remains unused. what is your attitude to splashes? im gonna sell mine and replace it with a nice 18 inch crash :P

even as a metal drummer, i find that splashes make great fillers and short accents. but like electrizer touched on, it's how your own personal style makes it fit or not.

When you're doing a hi-hat fill (ala Carter Beuford) it's nice to throw in some splash. I also like the sound of a splash when you strike it and then mute it really quick during a solo-type thinggie. I can't explain it lol.

I dang near flipped when I found out that Virg doesn't use any splashes or chinas. Appearently, they aren't all that necessary.

He used to use lots of both - back in the day of Obsessive Rhythms and Power Drummming he had a heap of splashes and some seriously cool positioned chinas (see the cage setup in Obsessive rhythms). Nowadays he practically never uses splashes, and very rarely will have a china. Every now and then a mini-china will pop-up in his setup (if you browse the Artist Setup section on any Virg endorsed site and such, you'll see one or two mini-chinas) - look in the TUDW2002 dvd, and you'll see a mini china in the top right of his setup (also in the modern drummer 96 vid). I reckon it also depends on the gig he's doing as well, because he had a hell of a lot of chinas in the Steve Vai tour, and may use some for specific gigs with certain bands/artists...

He's using a china at the moment, I believe. I saw one on the Soul SirkUS tour. Either that, or someone spiked my beer!

i used to own a 11 inch 2002 paiste splash and boy it sounds
like as if i'm spilling water to my bass player's face, LOL! i also had a EFX 7 inch cymbal. it's like a very very thick cymbal really good for fast decaying yet very loud accents. |
