"I couldn’t really hear the “K” character in the splashes—at least not in the non-brilliant models we tested. The 10" is a nice splash, but nothing out of the ordinary for Zildjian. It produced a consistent medium decay, with a bit of an upturn to the end of the tone. The 8" splash sounded like a top-flight A model to me, and was a good complement to the 10". Both cymbals were nice splashes, but they just didn’t have that “million-dollar sound.”"<br> | "I couldn’t really hear the “K” character in the splashes—at least not in the non-brilliant models we tested.

Review: The 8" & 10" K Splashes spoke lightly with a warm "spisss" sound, and decayed quickly. The 8" was especially quick and had a slightly different splash than its bigger brother, very delicate sounding. While I like both very much, the 10" was the one I preferred, as the 8 inch was just a bit too "porcelain" sounding for my tastes.
