This Meinl Soundcaster Fusion 10” Splash may look a little different, but it still performs like a splash should, doling out short, explosive bursts that punctuate and embellish your music.

What’s the advantage of having a mixed finish splash? You get a distinctive look combined with impressive sound. The unlathed and glassy polish portion surrounding the center gives way to a thinner, lathed outer surface. It’s these different thicknesses in the design and the material that create a warm and shimmering sound with an enhanced wash.

And where once these hybrid cymbals like the Soundcaster Fusion Series were very much considered a niche product by those in the know, drummers are starting to recognize the creative and expressive possibilities mixed finish cymbals offer. This very musical splash has a crisp, warm sound that’s applicable in lots of different situations.

Soundcaster Fusion cymbals have all the exceptional sonic characteristics of the Soundcaster Custom Series, only with close lathing at the edge to give it more wash and a shorter sustain. Cymbals are cut from rolled sheets of B12 bronze alloy and feature computerized, machine-made hammering that forges the shape and sound.

Austrian drummer Thomas Lang and Dragonforces’s Dave Mackintosh have seen the future of sound and have welcomed this 10” Splash into their kit.
