Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "We’re used to holes in crash cymbals - Sabian’s O-Zones have large holes resulting in trashy lightning strikes. The FRX’s tiny holes have a different effect. All three: 16", 17" and 18" - crash cymbals are lightweight and the holes produce only the slightest of trashiness, more of a hissiness that translates as swift, smooth and clean. The three make a perfectly balanced set, deliciously sweet.

The bells are extra lively too and because there are holes in them, if you strike over the holes you get an interestingly airy, bright and jangly clang - a fresh sound that is, frankly, pretty cool in itself."
