Review: Very similar to the Alpha series Metal Splash, this is not your typical splash cymbal. It has a very large bell, nearly 6"/15cm across. It has a metallic-like sound when crashed, with some interesting overtones. When tapped with the tip of the stick, it produces a bell-like sound. This isn't exactly like hitting the bell of a ride, or even striking a bell cymbal, it's lighter sounding than either of those. I doubt Vinnie Colauita would have a place in his set up for one of these, but that doesn't mean that it won't work for you!
