Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 12" splash possessed characteristics similar to those noted for the 8" and 10" splashes. Although its larger diameter gave it a slightly lower pitch than those of its two smaller siblings, it still proved versatile, and it would fit in well with most cymbal setups."

Review: "When these characteristics of light weight and small bell are transferred to the splashes, the result is the quickest response and decay of all the A Zildjian splashes.
Since the smaller a cymbal gets the greater proportion its bell takes up, all splashes tend towards a high pitched dinner gong 'ding' when you tap them. This is certainly noticeable on the 8" and 10" splashes. There is a razor-sharp, hissing attack followed by a bell-like afterglow. But once again, the fact the new bell is a bit smaller helps diminish this effect and it's nowhere near as off-putting as it is with some splashes we could name.
The 12" by contrast is almost a mini crash cymbal and has correspondingly less of the bell sound and more of the silvery splash. It seems to us to sit neatly between the splashes and the crashes - which is a very handy niche to fill."
