Nice little piece of equipment. Using it to hold a 10" Wuhan Splash to the Hi-Hat rod. Puts that splash right where I want it.
A shout out to Zane Stackhouse, an awesome Sales Engineer!

I got this to mount an 8" splash above my 12" hi hats in a compact drum setup on a Yamaha Crosstown hi hat stand. I think it'll securely hold a 10" splash or a 12" swiss splash/crash. At that point you start running into stick real estate issues, less so with larger (13-16") hi hats. If you use the hi hat bell this makes it a bit more difficult but still plenty doable. I've never had a problem with it slipping at all. Also, because it adds weight, larger cymbals might change the responsiveness of your pedal.

It would get 5 stars if it had a nylon sleeve to sit between the splash and the metal so there's no metal-on-metal contact. As a result, you need to keep the tension fairly snug for two reasons:
1. Prevent keyholing (wear and tear) around the cymbal hole
2. If you keep it fairly loose, then you'll get some residual ring from the cymbal knocking against the metal threads while you play the hi hat which can clutter up the sound.

So I tension it just enough to eliminate that ring and prevent any noticeable movement that could cause keyholing, and it still rings out great. If I had to tension to the point of it changing the timbre just to prevent those two issues, then I'd rate it fairly low, but that hasn't been an issue at all. It's a great little way to sneak another small cymbal onto your setup, especially for compact kits!
