Review: "Perhaps I'm being nit-picky, but I'd call this 13" cymbal a small crash rather than a large splash. It certainly has the quick response of a splash cymbal, but it also has more body than most splash cymbals I've known (and haven't loved). The upturned edges of the Salsa Splash give it the appearance of a tiny China cymbal, while the El Sabor line is designed for Latin music. But despite this ethnic dichotomy, the cymbal sounds like a small, mainstream crash (or large, meaty splash) to me, and I would imagine that drummers playing all sorts of music could find a place for it within their setups."
