'''Review:''' "The 16" and 18" O-Zone crashes are essentially the HHX Evolution O-Zones on steroids. I fell in love with the bright, washed-out sound of these specialty cymbals, and I predict that they’ll be a big hit with jazzers, funksters, and fusion players alike. They’re great for crash-riding to produce maximum wash with minimal physical effort. But they have a bit more definition than the HHX Evolution model." | '''Review:''' "The 16" and 18" O-Zone crashes are essentially the HHX Evolution O-Zones on steroids.
