Review: "Likewise, the 10" Extra Dry splash is wafer thin. Many 10" splashes chime like a cheap dinner gong, crude at close quarters. This one is so thin there's none of that, it's all sizzle and 'tiss' with absolutely no 'ding' in it. It spits and hisses.

Both cymbals being this thin, you need to take care not to buckle them."

Review: "The 10" Extra Dry splash ($228) was deeper sounding than most splashes, but its paper-thin weight gave it an attack that started at a higher frequency and dropped quickly in pitch during the decay. The overall sound was metallic bordering on tinny, very dry, and exceedingly trashy."
