Review: "This splash has a quick voice that will punch your accents through whatever playing environment you're in. It's a paper-thin cymbal that speaks quickly and decays just as fast. It also sounds good when you choke it by hand. The recommendation from Zildjian is that it makes a great first splash. For the price, I'd say, "Jump in!""

Review: "The true surprises of the ZBT line were the 8" and 10" splash cymbals. I was amazed at the sound quality, which compared very favorably to that of professional splashes. only under direct, side by side comparison could a discernible difference be observed. (The ZBTs had a slightly higher pitch, with a little less projection and sustain.) So if you're looking to add a fresh - and inexpensive - musical voice to your percussion arsenal, these splashes, these splashes are well worth your consideration."
