 The bell shape and size on these cymbals is probably the same as that used on Zildjian's other, very successful A splashes. But the company has reduced the thickness of the bow area significantly on the Extra Thin models. Perhaps a corresponding reduction of the bell size would keep the bell's contribution from overpowering the rest of the cymbal's sound."<br>

 The problem is that the Extra Thin splashes have surprisingly large bells in proportion to the rest of their diameter. This is especially apparent on the 8"model. They also have extremely thin bow areas. When the cymbal is struck, the overall "explosion" created by the bell and the bow together is, in fact, very bright and very splashy. But only the splashi-ness of the bow decays quickly. The sustained ring of the bell remains behind, giving a certain lingering "gonginess" to the sound. Oddly, this was most apparent on the 10" model. (I would have expected it to be more obvious on the 8" model.) The 12"cymbal didn't have quite such a problem, because there was a greater amount of bow area in propor-tion to the bell.

+'''Review:''' "Splash cymbals are certainly not new to the A Zildjian line. But the popularity of such small effects cymbals has increased in recent years, largely owing to their use by Manu Katche, Tim Alexander, Stephen Perkins,and Carter Beauford. According to Zildjian, some drummers have been asking for even thinner models, because of their "cleaner, faster, livelier sound. So Zildjian got out the ol' rolling pin and came up with these Extra Thin models.
