Review: "Zildjian is now producing a line of special effects cymbals called (appropriately) EFX. EFX #1 is the first in the series, and it consists of small, thick, bell-like cymbals available in 8", 10", and 12" sizes. Although they look like splash cymbals, their sound is quite different. Since they are of a heavier weight, the sound they produce is a bit "clangier" than a splash. They are high-pitched, and resemble the sound of cup chimes; they have more of a definite pitch than a normal cymbal.
At soft volumes, the EFX #1s have a very clear tone, and they sound good when played with mallets or triangle beaters. (Percussionists should definitely hear these cymbals.) At louder volumes, I found them to be piercing, and their tone was more direct. According to Zildjian, they can be used as a heavy splash cymbal for hard rock players. The 12" could be used in this application, but the 8" and 10" don't really have the spread when played hard. I preferred them at softer volumes, and they would make a good addition to a cymbal setup to add a more delicate sound."
