Review: "The 8" and 10" thin splashes possessed a fairly classic splash sound: fast, bright, and short.

Review: (NOTE: This review is for the brilliant version) "The 8" and 10" Thin splashes really impressed me with their quick, crisp, and shattered-glass-like qualities. These were great all-around splash cymbals that sounded just as good as, if not better than, many higher-priced models."
