I've seen countless drummers play this splash cymbal in videos and on records for years! As with any music instrument, the sound differs depending on room etc. so I was hesitant to purchase one as it would be a special order because of where I live... I finally gave in... And I am NOT disappointed! It cuts through the mix even better than expected for it's size, and playing it in conjunction with a Zildjian Oriental Trash China, the sounds effects are unified on the kit.
It's made me want the 11" now too!
