Review: "The Armand series includes a thin 10" splash. As with the 21" ride, this isn’t a model that’s particularly reminiscent of the 1960s. Ginger Baker was the only prominent rock drummer I recall having a splash back then. But it fits well with the other cymbals in the series, and it adds some modern variety. It has a nice spread of overtones for such a small, thin cymbal, and it’s pitched high enough to cut through a reasonable amount of volume. It speaks quickly and dies fast, but you obviously wouldn’t want to bash this one too hard."
