Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The splash cymbals have a very similar personality, producing a fast and incredibly glassy note. The 8" is so quick that it's there and gone in a flash. Almost to the point where we are checking to see if we have cracked it every time.

Due to the thin profile of the cymbals, they are rather soft and flexible which as well as aiding projection, allows me to accidentally turn the splash cymbals (which are mounted upside-down over the crashes) inside-out on several occasions."
