10" Aja Splash : Cheap, thin and alright sounding

This cymbal was cheap and sounds absolutely fine considering what I paid.

I wanted to experiment with a splash and this wasn't too much money to risk.

It wasn't very well finished however which I hope isn't the case for some of the more pricey Aja range, it would put me off trying out some of their larger pies (which I'd expect to be pretty budget as well) but nothing which cannot be sorted out with a little file and some sandpaper.

It is very thin and lightweight without any significant bell, it doesn't have a great deal of volume unless you blast it, but then that is the point of a splash.

I've had access to real junk budget brand cymbals before which cost a lot more than this and this cymbal is at least expressive and musical rather than just painful.

I recently got to play with a 10" zildjian zxt trashformer splash and to my ears it didn't sound like it was worth approximately 4 times the price of this Zultan.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking to experiment with a splash in their setup without breaking the bank or for a project of some type where a non-standard setup is being used or where a budget cymbal is sought, but one that doesn't sound absolutely awful.

Be aware of the quality control though and the fact that it is very thin and I doubt it'll last a lifetime.

I doubt thin splashes do though and it was 20 euro.
