One of my first splash. Who says Sabian said good sound in general, and this splash does not break the rule. Although a metal series, the sound is warm enough and not so aggressive as here, then it's a splash, so for me it only serves to put the accent on "ambient" parts. Side construction, standard thickness, and being a splash I do not see the need to type it as gross. In terms of costs; sorry but I do not remember any more. No longer a fan of splash, I do not go that choice only for that.
