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.
