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.

It's good for the price
I think it's all about taste, but the craft is really good for the sound and the price. Cheap simple effect cymbal. It does it's job.

Top value for money
I listened to all the 10" splashes online ans couldn't hear much difference between this one and FAR more expensive models. Now I have it, I am in no way disappointed. Further, I got two to see if I can use them as small, cheap hi hats with a cajon, and you can!

Nice little splash, but...
Bought it for one the metal bands I play in and I must say it doesn't really cut through the wall of guitars and bass, although that may depend on the context (room you play in, how loud is said wall of guitars and bass etc.).
I like the feel on the stick when I hit it, but the sound isn't quite what I was looking for, this one tending to appeal more to those who like washier and darker-type sounding splashes.

Great value for money, nice dark trashy sound!
I was very surprised by this little gem of a splash cymbal - I do a lot of hip hop and drum 'n' bass drumming and this splash has a great dry, dark, slightly trashy and very fast attack and quick decay sound that I think is perfect. A little like a cross between a hand-hammered Turkish cymbal and a Zyldian K series - it sound like a cymbal three times the price. Amazing value and would highly reccommend!

Good splash for the price
Wet sounding splash cymbal but the sounds decay fast and there's not much (weak) attack to it. Would consider the tone as bright.
Quality wise it could be improved, seems like thin sheet of metal... Quite fragile to handle and probably could make a dent if not properly taken care of. Not sure if it's only me but seems to oxidise if not taken care of properly. So handle with care.
Moderate built with decent wet-sound and bright tone... for a very cheap price! A bargain for those interested.
