Lazer PE-075A-12 12" Splash Brass Cymbal
The Lazer P-075A-12 is a 12-inch splash cymbal made from brass, designed to produce quick, sharp accents and energetic articulation in a drum setup. Because of its splash size, it responds very quickly to stick hits, delivering a bright, piercing attack with minimal sustain —perfect for transitions, fills, or accents that need to cut through without lingering wash. The profile is likely thin or medium-thin, helping with sensitivity to lighter touches. The finish is probably simple (raw or lightly polished) rather than heavily treated, giving it a crisp timbre. Overall, it's a compact effect cymbal that adds splash-type energy and sparkle to a kit without overwhelming the overall tone.
12‑inch diameter — gives a slightly more pronounced splash effect than 10", with a bit more volume and presence while still being fast and sharp.
Brass alloy build — typically brighter, with a strong attack; brass tends to be more affordable and less complex in overtone content than high‑end bronze cymbals.
Thin to medium‑thin profile — to allow quick onset and fast decay; very responsive to lighter strokes.
Short sustain / fast decay — after being struck, the sound will decay quickly, so it works well for accenting rather than long washes.
Bell size modest — the bell will likely be present enough to add some cut or articulation if struck, but won’t dominate the sound.
Finish likely simple — raw or lightly lathed rather than polished mirror finishes; simpler finishes often help in getting sharper, more cutting tone.
Lightweight / sensitive to dynamics — because of smaller size and thinner build, small variation in strike strength will produce noticeable difference in loudness and tone.
Usage — ideal for fills, accents, transitions; useful in live performance or in kits where you want bright splashes without overwhelming other cymbals.
