Zildjian Cluster Splash?

Hello everyone,

I stumbled across the video of Aaron Spears playing "The Pretender" on Drumeo's YouTube channel, and I was curious what splash he had on his kit.

To me, my mind jumped to K Sweet or K Cluster, but from certain angles in the video, it looked like there were unusual hammerings almost to the point where it was a Cluster Splash? I know that's not a thing, or so the internet thinks, but either way I want to figure out what that is and where I can find one (if they even make them)


to clarify: I don't mean the stack he has in the bottom left corner.

I had the same idea that it might have been a prototype, but normally prototypes aren't erased from the internet after they're sold, no? For example, you can still find the clap / smack stacks that Zildjian sold under the concept shop line, even though they don't sell them anymore, but you can find them online. This, however, seems to be a ghost...
 
In the screenshot image I don’t see any special hammering. Could it be a trick of light and shadow in the video?
 
maybe not necessarily a cluster cymbal at all, but what other zildjian splash has a raw bell and lathed surrounding edges?
 
It's that circley thing on top of that Holey thing...
Oh you don't mean the stacked thing on the left.. hmm ok

Sometimes they make prototypes for artists, sometimes for stores.

Sometimes there are videos. Sometimes there are not.

If there are videos, they are not erased because of said cymbal is in someones hands.

It looks like a cluster hammering indeed.
 
It makes sense that they could make him a splash and not publicly release it. I guess I never thought of that.

I feel like that's the most probable answer, but I'll leave this open in case anyone finds anything anywhere
