Review: "The radically designed 16" and 18" O-Zone crash cymbals really rang my bell, so to speak. They’re paper-thin, trashier than fifty dropped garbage cans, and more sonically charged than an F-16. The cymbals look like lumpy hubcaps, thanks to a series of circular cutouts (six on the 16", eight on the 18") and a lathed surface. When I smacked the 16", it produced a “woosh” and a very loud pop. And despite its lack of density, when I tapped it lightly it racked me to the core with its wavering decay. The 18" amplified these traits and had an even greater gust-of-windspread, no doubt due to the holes. I wasn’t putting much effort in, but I was getting a lot of sound back.

Review: "As I mentioned, Mark and David also came up with two radically new crashes. The HHX Evolution O-Zone Crash was designed to be extremely raw, nasty, and very biting. The sound has a crude, aggressive combination of thin crash and Chinese. The attack has an instantaneous high succeeded by a dirty, deep sustain. Its unique tonality is achieved in part through the use of two-inch holes that contribute to the overall nastiness of the sound. The 16" cymbal has six holes while the 18" has eight."
