Review: "Those 'Splash'-type cymbals would still appear to be in demand, even though they ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. 'K' make an 8" and 10", both of which have a very clean and bright sound, albeit with a little more middle than an Avedis. I have seen many of these sort of cymbals destroyed by enthusiastic over-use. They are simply not made for whacking; very much an effect instrument."

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.
