In a drum kit, splash cymbals are the smallest accent cymbals. Splash cymbals and china cymbals are the main types of effects cymbals. The most common sized splash has a diameter of 10", followed by 8". Most splash cymbals are in the size range of 6" to 13", but some splash cymbals are as small as 4". Some makers have produced cymbals described as ''splash'' up to 22",〔http://www.china-gongs.com/product/fseries.htm〕 but a splash of 14" or more is more often described as a crash cymbal. Splash cymbals include: * Traditional splash cymbals, medium in weight with little or no taper. * Rock splash cymbals, heavy but often with a slight taper. * China splash cymbals. * Salsa splash cymbals. * Thin splash cymbals. * Bell cymbals. * Specialised ''stack'' cymbals. ==History== The original and traditional ''splash'', like many of the cymbal types in a drum kit, was invented and named by Gene Krupa in collaboration with the Avedis Zildjian Company. Widely used in the jazz music of the 1920s and 30s, this traditional splash cymbal was not seen for many years in mainstream music until Stewart Copeland playing in ''The Police'' brought it back to prominence. Heavier splash cymbals, more suited to this style of drumming, were soon available. A third phase in the development of splash cymbals occurred when china splash cymbals became popular. These added a new dimension to drumming in their own right, and also led to the development of cymbal stacks. Several other types that are now regarded as splash cymbals, such as bell and salsa cymbals, have more quietly been added to the kits of leading drummers and to the catalogues of major cymbal manufacturers over the years. Today much of the color of an extended drum kit is provided by the wide variety of splash cymbals available. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Splash cymbal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
