Review: "The thickness and small diameter of the 10" and 12" Splashes made them sound less like traditional splash cymbals and more like mini-crashes to me. On the other hand, they had a bit more body than would traditional splashes, and might be just the ticket for use in amplified situations where the sound of a thinner cymbal would simply disappear."
