holy cymbals

[renegademonk]

I've noticed cymbals with holes in them on the market such as the sabian ozone. I am toying with buying one but wonder if anyone out there has used or uses one and what they think about it?

[LoneStarDrummer]

don't bother buying it if you are unsure of what it sounds like or are unsure of whether or not it's a sound you want. they offer a nice sound to them, but i don't much care for them.

[Lunarfall]

The sound I got out of cymbals like these were completely different than what I thought it'd be. I hated the sound, but maybe you'd like it. Definently listen to these in person before buying.

[Mirror.Circuit]

I hear they're very trashy for crash cymbals.
I'd go play a couple though.

[Tillmon]

they sound like what you would expect cymbals with big gaping holes to sound like. Thin, sorta pathetic, would make an interesting picture frame though.

There's a good video of Dave Weckl using one, here:

So you can get an idea of what it sounds like, or maybe there are clips on the Sabian website.

Note: Buying a cymbal with holes in it will not make you play like dave weckl.

damn, weckl is a badass. also, i agree that making a picture frame out of them would be a better use for them.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I like the sound of them, but that said, I don't own one, and there are quite a few things I'll be getting before I get one of them.

If you like the sound, they're great. If you like the sound.

trashy, really trashy. i heard one with a live band and really liked it, then went nad tried it in the store and hated it.

Thanks peoples, that's what I'm worried about not liking it when I hear it in person. One of my heros Flo Mournier uses them and they sound good but it may be dissapointing in person like when I bought a sabian "kang" china splash. I will wait until I can hear in person.

18" Ozone crashes are awesome.

Man that was good lol

The ozone splashes are stunning :)

I might get one soon

They are pretty much the perfect splash sound

I really can't get along with the AAX O-Zone splashes, they're so quiet! I found them to be a bit flimsy and pathetic tbh but that's just me.

The HHX O-Zone crashes are kind of like the bridge between crashes and chinas. Still crashy, and still trashy. Personally, I'd have my whole kit covered in them if I had the money :)

[Damo]

I'm just waiting for the day I get my stick caught in one of the Ozone holes...

[Chippy569]

just keep in mind that a cymbal NEVER sounds the same from 20' out as it does from 2" away.

[Plan B.]

yeah i've always wanted to see someone totally get their stick snatched by a hole mid song

[crazyguy832]

16" O-Zone is my next purchase.

'nuff said.

HHX, of course, for those who don't know of my AAX hatred.

16" is nice.

I wanted the 20" as well as my 18"
