Review: "The AAX Air splashes are so called due to the six holes they sport (3⁄4" wide for the 8" and 1" for the 10"). They are extra-thin and combine a natural finish with raw bells.
Both AAX Air splashes open with face-jerking haste and then snap shut with equal rapidity. The holes not only add to their near-illegal operating speed but also influence their sound, encouraging bite and trashiness. The smaller of the pair is over and done in the flash of a Gatso camera while the 10" model sticks around for a few nanoseconds longer and is fractionally lower in tone."
