Review: "On the O-Zone China, the traces of the processing typical for HHX Complex are particularly noticeable. What immediately catches the eye is the raw top on both sides with the intense and dense hammering. No less intense are the complete bowl profiles covered with a rather diffuse and fine hammering pattern, which is moreover topped by many very broad hammer marks. Interestingly, the broad hammer marks are very subtle on the 17" model, while on the 19" counterpart the material has obviously been compacted more strongly and intensely. Otherwise, both models are practically identical in construction. With Everything is turned down to a thin gauge on the fine grooves; both models also feature the characteristic shallow profile typical of the Complex series. The rim of the 17" crash is bent slightly steeper than the flatter edge of the 19" China. In terms of sound, both are very similar: they respond very quickly and fully, developing a lot of warmth and richness in tone.
Thanks to the six 2"-sized holes each, there is of course an enormous trash factor, although it remains consistently mild here and relatively restrained for a China. The overall moderate volume makes it easier to mic them in a set: these Chinas don’t cut brutally into the mix; despite the sharp sound, everything always remains musically intact."
