Review: "The 11" splash's sound had a gorgeous, almost China-like expanding quality. Although it was fast enough to distinguish itself as a splash, it too seemed to respond slower than most splashes. Similarly, when choked it lacked the humorous element often associated with that effect, as if it was too dignified for such schtick. One of my Paiste prejudices that was reaffirmed relates to their inter-range consistency: The different sizes of each crash model sounded too similar for me to want them in the same setup. Preferring a broader variety of distinct colors, I'd be more inclined to mix and match, say, a thin 18" and an extra-thin 16". The splash, on the other hand, complemented any combination.
