Review: "When you first see the 6" A Custom, you might expect it to produce more clang than splash, since most of its surface consists of a bell. There are enough overtones to qualify this as a splash cymbal, however—even though they are very thin and decay almost instantly. It's probably the fastest, thinnest splash I've ever heard, and one would have to choose the setting carefully in order for itto be effective. I suspect it will be most popular with players who use more than one splash, and it would certainly work well as the soprano voice in a choir of splash cymbals. It could also be very effective in a controlled environment such as a recording studio.
Seeing that large bell in front of me, I couldn't resist trying some Latin-type bell patterns on it. Because the cymbal is so small, the sound wouldn't cut through a loud band, but for a subtle metallic color in an acoustic setting, the cymbal worked quite well."
