What cymbal should I get for my drum kit, a china ride or a splash cymbal?

Question

Id be very grateful if anyone could answer this, thank you.

Answer 1

Depends on what you want to do. They're both accent cymbals that are used differently.



Do you want to ride something? Then get a Zildjian Oriental trash China



If you want a soft yet cutting accent somewhere in the middle of a fill or during a pocket groove? Then get a Splash. Look into Meinl Byzance splashes.

Answer 2

the Splash cymbal are the excellent small ones the holiday cymbals is a huge one is many times on the terrific area of the kit & you play on it... Yeah, in simple terms take a while and study the basics. flow on Youtube and variety in the words "loose DRUM classes" additionally to help with discovering drums

Answer 3

it depends on which one you'd use the most...

I've never had a China cymbal, but I had a Splash cymbal...

they are really cool for doing tricks on them

So, I'd say the Splash cymbal

Answer 4

well in a basic kit it would include a ride and a crash



- the ones people hit mostly besides the hi-hat would be the crash

- if you want a loud and raw sound you should get a china

- and if you want something bright and small you should pick a splash

Answer 5

these two cymbals are very different

splashes are small and makes that splashy sound

chinas are about the same size as crashes and they make a funky crashy, trashy sound





I'd go with the china

Answer 6

china!



reet reet!
