Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 8" Splash Rock cymbal was sort of the "odd man out" in
our otherwise fairly thin and jazz-oriented review group. Although
it is still thinner than most rock splashes or small effects cymbals
I've encountered lately, it's substantially thicker than a
more.. .well.. .traditional splash. It also features a special hammering pattern to give it additional life and brightness. As a result,
when struck and allowed to ring out, it really did...with a fairly
long, gongy sustain instead of the quick decay one usually associates with a splash. On the other hand, it had a terrific,
loud explosion, and it sounded great when struck
hard and then choked quickly. So I wouldn't
call this cymbal "splashy" in a classic sense.
But it certainly would fit the bill in any
sort of loud environment. (The
Traditional series also includes thinner
splashes, along with bell and splash
China models.)"
