Decided to buy this Meinl 08" HCS Splash because I had some extra bucks after doing my main Thomann order. Wasn't sure about the sound or quality due to it's low price (cheapest available on the time of purchase), but decided to go with it since it was my first effect cymbal to purchase. And the splash proved to be very good!
It provides high vibrant sound and does the great job of giving the clear and bright accent where needed, so it came as a great addition to my standard drumset. I was reluctant at first, but now I tend to use it more and more with each new song we're doing with the band (other band members loved it as well).
