Review: "Meanwhile the 10" and 12" Rock splashes were sufficiently heavy to get the tone and projection of normal, everyday thin splashes. Their relatively long decay makes them "splash-pluses." Granted, their spread wasn't as wide as that of the crashes and rides in this series. (What would be the point of that?) But they did produce surprisingly dark overtones. On the other hand, these babies definitely did not produce the quick spritz of a traditional light, thin splash. But let's remember the context here. Next to the Mb20 crashes, sounded almost delicate!"
