This cymbal is quite unique when it's comes to the sound and looks. I love this concept of having 2 sides of the cymbal's look. Having Zildjian's traditional finish around the bow and the brilliant finish on the bell, it gives the cymbal a unique sound when played. This, combined with my 8" S family splash, I have a very cool "tiny explosion" sound when I hit both. It took some getting used to with the sound, but in the end, it sounds great.

What a great sounding cymbal. Very complex and musical. Just what I hoped it would be. This will surely improve my sound on many levels.

I Love everything about this splash... finally found the one that has the right balance of volume and tone for my setup.

One of the worst sounding splash cymbals I've ever owned. The bell is pretty much useless as well, and for the price you could do a lot better.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or Planet Z pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
