bowhuntMN Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've had a splash cymbal since I first bought my cymbal pack years ago but haven't mounted it yet. I was thinking about putting a mount on one of the tom rods so the cymbal would be directly in front of me, but had second thoughts when I realized this could get in the way when I transition between the two toms. Has anyone mounted a splash this way before and had problems? Or how do you/how would you mount a splash on your own set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Sauceman Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) I just purchased some extra stands for my drums so I could just move them around more and find exactly where I wanted them. LOVE those Pearl Forum drums!! Edited April 2, 2011 by Norm Sauceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Depends on how big it is You can put it there just in reach, but high out of the way of the toms. Easier to hit with either hand, too. ...................splash ....crash ........................... ride ............... ..tom...tom Hi hat....snare............fl tom...........crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I had a clamp on the cymbal stand like this example shown for a cowbell and woodblock. The black kit has the splash where I suggested it be. I guess it comes down to your style of playing. Like any tool it needs to have a place where you can work with it.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 If you mount it off your toms, I don't see anything wrong with it. I have one mounted like that at the church and works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcot2773 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Mine was mounted between my 2 toms over the base.. i used it a lot in a transition so it was easily reached there. just depends, If you do mount it on the tom offset it off the back so your drum head is not covered if you are worried about clearance.
