Review: Extremely quick! This is the 3rd 6" splash I have owned, the other two being a Zildjian A. Custom,and a Sabian AA regular finish. In comparison, this is the quickest decaying and softest-sounding 6" splash of the lot. My first impression was that this was a cymbal from a toy set of drums. (it's that quick) I couldn't see using this as a main splash for any style of music, except for an extremely low volume setting. And honestly, I couldn't see using this for Rock and Roll at all. It does have a nice sound,and if I haven't mentioned it yet, it has an extremely quick decay. (I can't stress this enough!) If you are wondering about this cymbal, listen to a 2002 8" Splash. Then, divide the volume and decay by almost 50%,and you will have this cymbal's sound.

Review: "Tiny and super-light, it sounds very pretty if struck delicately (which can be tricky to do under normal playing conditions). But its small size makes it difficult to strike and then "choke" with the other hand. (It just moves too quickly.) Additionally, it's of absolutely no use if hit too hard. As a result, it might have more application for a percussionist than for a drum set player."
