Quality: What is there to say: Paiste (Swiss) quality, Paiste 2002 bronze, perfection!
Sound: Explosive, shimmering but dark. Perfect if you play louder styles, but still prefer darker cymbals. Also, this 12" splash doesn't sound like a (too) little crash, that was a problem I had with some other models and that many 12" splashes have, but rather sounds like a proper splash (that explosive short initial burst) but with more volume, and a little bit more sustain (being 12" after all). There is a good amount of YT videos for sound samples - I bought it based on them, and I am more than pleased.
