I got a couple of budget splashes a while ago and this was one of them. I hate to say it but I'm not very impressed with the sound. The volume is low (even for a splash) and the tone is a bit... "meh". It's okay as an auxiliary effect, combined with another splash in a fill for example, but on its own... I'd rather go with another cymbal. Next time I get some budget cymbals I will try to use it in a stack and see what happens.
