    of course the difference is the sound.
    And sound is point of taste

    Smaller splashes are gonna sound brighter and higher pitched as well as have a shorter sustain. Larger splashes have a darker tone overall... Most lower entry level splashes aren't even worth buying since the good ones have a beautiful pleasing tone to the ear.

    I prefer my splashes in 8" 10" and 11".
    A 6" has always seemed silly to me.
    My favorite is my 8" Rude.

    8'' is the best type of splash in my opinion. Try for a Zildjian.

    The splashes are just like a normal crash

    I personally prefer a 10 inch splash, becuase i get the splash sound, AND volume

    The smaller you go, the more volume you lose, and the higher the sound, its on personal taste, much as crashes

    But theres no real, in the middle sound, like a 16 crash, theres no certan splash that is right in the middle

    The 6' cymbals are practically finger cymbals for belly dancers! Seriously they are worthless musically really in my opinion. They have no volume to be heard more than a couple feet away

    i like 8" 10" and 12" splashes myself. if i had to choose only one i'd go with a 10" and then buy an 8" as soon as possible.

    i think the problem with 6" is if you dont know how to use it well. of course it will not be heard when the snog gets to loud, but in short fills, breaks or pause it can really cut through very nice!

    i got a 8" zxt and a 6" aax cus like some1 said, entry level splashes are not even worth buying

    the 6 sounds kinda like a bell, and it's to small. the 8 and 10 are great. I have a 8 ZBT, but i hope to get a 10" A customs, Paragon, or AA metal splash
