K Special Dry was my personal favorite out of these, though I will say that for a cymbal that is significantly less expensive than the other ones, the Wuhan sounds surprisingly good to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting it is as good as the K, but it's also a lot less expensive, so that's a consideration in some cases. To me, the fairly new HHX Complex sound cool with initial attack, but just a bit too 'ringy' at the decay for my tastes. Great comparison regardless in that it gave me that kind of detailed info about a diverse group of makers/models... nice!

You guys are the best! You really know what drummers want and need. To me, the dual splash is probably the most unique and rich splash I’ve ever heard. Looking forward to the 8” splash version! I’m wondering if air splashes aren’t so prevalent anymore. The Aeros are great but I have a slight preference toward the air variety but see a bit less of them around.

Not an apples to apples comparion with others like the byzance dual or xist which I really like.

In this test, it's the Paiste Signature for me; to my ears the most musical sounding and with a slightly longer sustain than most. Nice... I was also pleasantly surprised and impressed by the Dream Bliss. Not a brand I know much about, but on the basis of this clip, certainly an option! By the way, back in the 70-ies, when I was shopping for my first ever cymbals, the old and wise proprietor of my local music shop told me to ALWAYS buy cymbals with my ears, never with my eyes... meaning you can lust after that Zildjan K ride on the basis of previous experiences, your fave drummers using same, firends' opinions, etc, but it is NOT guaranteed that when you finally purchase one, you get the best ride available. Cymbals are fickle when it comes to how they end up sounding even when coming off a highly automated and accurate production line... So ALWAYS go to your music shop, close your eyes and LISTEN. Buy the one that speaks to you most, not the one you told yourself to get beforehand! The well known drummmers who truly care about their sound more than their endorsement paychecks, always seem to have a motley collection of cymbals, rather than a full house of the line of cymbals they get paid to play on... Just saying folks....

Yah- -I'd say close to half of the ones in this video had too much sustain for me. The splashes I like hearing on records of my '80s metal bands hit hard and high and quickly go away. But that one dark symbol toward the end of the video never really hits hard cuz it just cuts out too fast so it can be too much attenuation which is as bad as too much sustain where the ladder makes it too much like a larger diameter crash cymbal.

@@nocomment3600 I've never been impressed with a cymbal made by Zildjian, and I've tried out almost every cymbal made by them, as music stores are overstocked with Zildjian products. The Sabians that were stocked, sounded much better to my ear, and what little Paistes were in stock, held their own, to say the least. The few Meinl cymbals I've ever tried out in person, were nothing short of mind blowingly impressive, especially the Byzance series. But back to the main point, Zildjian does not live up to their hype. Zildjian has become some sort of cultural thing amongst drummers, and you're not "cool" if you don't play Zildjian. The same way Apple fans treat non Apple products. "it's alright, but it's not Zildjian." If I had a dollar for the amount of times I've heard drummers say that line when talking about cymbals not made by Zildjian, I'd have enough money to buy the company

K was my fav; Dream was my least. I usually favour Meinl - they were both good too/in my top 3 or 4.

Sabian AAX Aero Splash Cymbal 10" Brilliant was my favorite. I'm a zildjian guy but still prefer Sabian splashes, although the A Custom efx was really close.

@@jeremybalzarini279 I actually own the 12" Sabian AAX aero and plan on purchasing the Sabian 10"" tonight.. One other cymbal that I like in this group is the Paiste Masters Dark... Never owned any of Paiste's line but am admittedly attracted to the 10" Masters Dark..Does it appeal to you as well?

So I noticed that each of these cymbals sound good. Not a bad one in the bunch. Considering the poor quality of most cymbal companies, Zildjian and Sabian for example, you must've had them send you like 20 of each type of splash. It seems today that you need to go through like 20 cymbals just to get one good one, which is why I never order cymbals online. Most of the time I play Zildjian cymbals, years ago you could order a whole set of cymbals from Zildjians and they all would be perfect. Today, if you ordered a set they would pick anything from the pile and you would be guaranteed to get a bunch of trash can lids. So if I ordered a cymbal from you would you pick me out a good one and ship that, or would you just have Zildjian send me a trash can lid?

OH MAN I came here for Splash recommendations but I love the sound of that snare. How do you get it to sound so good and cracky? I have a Ludwig Black Beauty and I struggle to make it sound this good.

I find that splash cymbals are a lot more musical than they used to be from years gone by. That said, they have a difficult time cutting through the mix in a live situation. I feel missing from the list, is the Paiste PST8 10 inch Swiss. It’s a great little trashy guy.

I absolutely love my 6” and 8” Wuhan splashes the 10” is not as good. The 6” is my favorite cymbal out of 14 cymbals I have mostly Zildjian. The 8” Wuhan is my 2nd favorite, although I wasn’t as in love with it until I put it upside down on my 16” Zildjian.But I’m looking to add something different,

I have the byzance dual on my kit and for it being the dual line, its cuts thru everything just enough to be heard without the overtones that comes from a splash. And it almost sounds like a stack so thats a plus😂😂

I think for me it was between the Wuhan and the Bliss, probably favouring the Wuhan with the slightly lower tone and even sort of decay. I'm considering a new splash for my cajon set up and wondering how these may respond by being played by hands rather than sticks...
