10" Aja Splash : Great Splash - why pay more?!

This splash sounds incredible, particularly when you consider that it costs less than half the price of many other brands. I bought this to sit on top of my hi-hat stand (balanced on a Sonor hi-hat clutch - Product No.287411) on my cut down gigging kit. (cajon, remote cajon pedal, hi-hat and snare)

I needed a small cymbal to punctuate fills without having to carry and set up another stand. I saw a few other drummers using this set-up online and thought it might work for me so I ordered the clutch and the splash cymbal together. The result is that this cute little cymbal sits nicely on top of my hi-hat rod (a good 2? of the hi-hat rod is held inside the clutch so there?s no chance of it getting knocked off!) A little plumber?s tape on the thread prevents the nut coming loose and dropping the cymbal mid- gig. Needless to say it works brilliantly, I think it has a nice trashy sound with a nice short sustain, which sounds fantastic with many syles of music. I am truly delighted with it and still can?t believe it costs so little in exchange for such a great sound. Highly recommend.
