[suicidemetal]

[AndTheSky210]

[musicmikester]

[infectiousfiles]

[synts1]

[Lehmar]

[blackkampfer]

[jnlhansonian]

The cymbals sound awesome! esp that china.

[sharksliveintrees]

I like the sound of your bass drum

[alfabeastie]

Chuck Norris's whip would sound like that China of yours

[pescalante2]

hey man could you tell me how you did this? I'd love to give it a try

[edsterling0]

i will do holes right now

[lauraevc]

You inspired me to do terrible things to my cymbals! Sounds excellent!

[swizzblade]

LOL.. WUHAN might copy your creation.. Great job on the cymbals.. Wish you have a step by step video instructions.. Peace..

[defenceman20]

wow awesome! how did you make the holes so good?

[judeappetite]

You are so awesome!

[TheBodinos]

What is your micro set ? Samson ?

[DrumFuckerFr]

The china sounds awesome!

[philgecko]

i bet the o-zone china didn't last long, especialy if it was a whuan. damn poor quality wuhan cymbals...

[Ostrica391]

How have you tuned your snare and toms please answer

[Joselo1693]

I liked your China cymbal... Really cool

[Ninjafiedrummer]

i want to buy it off you

[GandaByFluke]

The father of the Sabian Holy China ^^

[dustyowl99]

I like how your drums are mixed idk they just sound nice

[readman010]

i would have that s series crash over the sabian hhx o zone any day!!!

[Ifartyousmell]

Good stuff man..Make sure to put your copyright on your innovations. Cheers!

[2468DDT]

Dude you have a Wuhan Holy China LOL! I bet Sabian got the idea from you bro! Sounds amazing!!!!

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

fuck yeah that sounds boss

[trasker]

his voice is like Richard Christy's voice. omg i miss him.

[tobben27]

oh my god that china made me jizz

[Drumlover182]

I just turned one of my old sabian brass cymbals into an ozone and it's so much louder!

[MrStillfreedom]

Nice dude

[tl124]

Saaaaaa-weeeeet!!

[jmr2master]

That O-zone china is the business!!!!! Great playing as well!!

[Drumlover182]

Freaking awsome but your kick sounds like a bucket :p other than that your set and cymbals rock

[mattlikesdrumming]

hey man, i have an 18" ZBT china which I can't stand. It sounds similar to the Wuhan 18", which you said you can't stand. Your Ozone china sounds AMAZING, I'd like to do that to my ZBT. Do you think you could measure the spacings on the china and let me know? Thanks dude!

[rockpunkmetal100]

dude u rule the little set. why not buy a big pro set?

[Brok3nCarlos]

just a heads up. your hi hat mic should be horizontally in line with the hi hats

[AlexOnSeLine]

amazing drummer, amazing cymbals...

[sithwriter]

Just wondering, what are the benefits to making your cumbals into "ozones". Like what changes occur in the the cymbal? The sound changes, but how, and why?

[1Daddoz1]

Nice!

[DannyFinDrums]

Those are 2 of the best sounding cymbals I've ever heard. Wow I want some man

[jamescb3]

Thats the best sounding china cymbal I've ever heard. Just awesome, man!

[FrickedrickedQc]

Sabian now does the Holy China, but it has 54 holes (I think) for the 19" model .... sounds practically like your 16" Wuhan ! :D

[XChrisxRubiX]

god DAAMMMN DUDE!!! these are AMAZING!

[FUZZEYHIPPO]

im pretty sure that you figured out how to make wuhan cymbals sound good because usually, they all sound like crap. Do you think thats why they are in the 10 dollar section at guitar center? lol nice job. they do sound pretty good. I did that to my old china like 7 years ago. but that was because it cracked so i just drilled a hole where the crack was.

[burns01]

You look like a cool guy to drink a beer with

[ddrumbum]

@burns01 Thanks man!



[cida333]

Fucking incredible sound.

[shreyank7]

Dude that was just awesome.

[thomasedwardable]

that was awesome I have an 18 inch ZHT china and hate the long decay, would love to do this!!!!

[OurLastResistance]

What did you use to make the wholes in the china, I really wanna do this and would like to know!

[alexwojtowicz96]

the china sounds amazing!

[latem777]

awesome man! sure did inspire me =)

[ddrumbum]

@latem777 thanks.

[floydnelson123]

hahah you could tell that floor tom is out of tune just by looking at it.

[ddrumbum]

@floydnelson123 Um ok

[floydnelson123]

@ddrumbum Yeah its all fucked up.

[deathmetaldude1]

what kind of a ride cymbal is that?

Deathmetaldude1

[ddrumbum]

@deathmetaldude1 My ride is a 20" Zildjian K Custom

[bogoto2112]

Sound really great !!!!!!

[wolverineblues81]

that wuhan sounds deadly. did you measure to the center or the edge of the hole when you went 3" from the edge of the cymbal? i need to know because it just so happens i have had a similar wuhan rotting away in a corner for a few years, and i am sooo trying this!

[ddrumbum]

@wolverineblues81 Im too late lol

[gentotski]

Dude, can I ask how many holes did you make for the china and the crash. And what are the diameters of the holes. Awesome job on the cymbals! They sound crazy dope!

[bea5ToloG]

is that a k custom ride?

[ddrumbum]

@bea5ToloG Yes

[emilbestcool1]

is it just me? Christoph schneider popps up in my head...

anyways, fucking awesome cymbals!

[DrumFuckerFr]

The china sounds really really good! What's your method?

[zepedrorock]

Nice sound, I think O-Zones are the best sounding cymbals.

Your kit sounded a little like Neil Peart's kit for me.

[xdoseonex]

Holy shit they both sound REALLY good. Didn't expect that.

[ilovetruluck]

toms sound great..wat'd u do?

[lwix]

Man, it fits perfectly into your set, I like it!

[UNLrainbow]

smooth !

[14Mthat14M]

Very nice. Good idea for a use of a cymbal you otherwise don't like as much as you thought you would. I also like the drum sounds you got. The presence is very much a power sound. Thanks for posting.

[blanker666]

great job

[XRICKY3]

sick ass cymbals nice demo

[phoenix11994466]

Who would have guessed?...Bang a few holes in a crappy Wuhan China Cymbal... and transform it into a sweet sounding splash... That's nice work..

Tell me, what did you use to machine the holes with?

[monkeywithaskirt]

Hey man! nice vid! thanx for it, I have a 18" ride which I want to modify. can you give me some information like how far are the small holes and the big ones and also the spacing between them??thank you in advance!!

[uss11rage]

fuckin sweeeeeet!

[mgoody1991]

Hey, gorgeous sounds for both of these, think i might have a go myself!

What machine did you actually use to cut the holes out?

Cheers!

[ShedStudios225]

how do you make them??

[Doodleydrums]

Those cymbals sound so fuckin nice, I think I'm going to give it a try with my own.

[noconflictbanana]

Orgasmic..

[jakedawg1995]

WOW, I now really want to do that to all of my Wuhan Chinas, that sounds a lot better.

[waltondrummer]

Wish I had a friend named Mark Burton who has a machine shop using CAD....they sound great! Actually I think I've seen a couple drum/cymbal repair repair shops online that'll do this for not too much $

Good job...they do sound great.

[Galadrm]

I read the comments before i saw the video and did not think they would sound that good because they were wuhan's. BUT THEY ARE AMAZING!! I'm trying that on my 12" wuhan china.

[LifegrindX]

Excellent job, they sound great!

[verveshawn]

awsum brother! amazing sounds! :-)

[TheBatmanShow2112]

That first one sounds like the beginning to Tom Sawyer by Rush

[simon0062]

Freakin awesome 

[zombiepaki94]

They sound freaking amazing, you should make a new brand of cymbals, the sound of that china is PERFECT

[lookatdis100]

what did u use to drill the holes

[anderl22]

till i saw this i liked my 18" wuhan china :(^^

[HailThyDrumKit]

Wow they sound really bright and clean

[MrHinds89]

how did you cut  the holes into them they sound awesome !!!!!!!!! get back to me please

[fordshop11]

WOW!!!

[joshuachan56]

This is for the first time... that i like Wuhan chinas. I HATED wuhan chinas as it sounds like low quality piece of crap. As for this, sound freakin' AWESOME!

[pakupaul]

wow your drum sounds really good.

[eternalthrasher]

From shitty sound to attacking, fast and crispy.. Without even mentioning the trashy sound what those create. DAMN!!

[liamfarr50]

they bot sound beautiful, only word to describe it

[TomBDrums]

That crash sounds awsome now that you've turned it into an o-zone/EFX

[TripodGRANNE]

all he did was cut holes in other cymbals

[sweetdrums295]

great!!! i love them both, especially the s series crash! (btw nice left hand buzz rolls)

[Krazlo]

if u make an o-zone out of an ride? :P

[kimmin1208]

Wow..... * looking for tools *

[mrinosent1]

what is the name of the tool he used

[Hheawy]

So.. fucking... awesome

[TheDustyspears]

Dude I have these exact cymbals, and they sound rediculously bad as is. I'd love to do this if it's the result I get.

[jesse17ful]

sabian saw this video and came up with the Sabian HOLY china!

[MegaDrumCover4You]

Doesn't Sound half bad.

[AlexTheDrummer110]

the china is the same like the rivets wuhan offers. but its sick

[fenianmetal]

sabian now has released the ozone china that its signature from chad smith.. they stole your idea.. great work man!!!

[ajeragon1997]

@fenianmetal it probably isnt as good as this tho!

[SuperBigboy4884]

I love the sound of the entire drum set with the two O-zone cymbals. I wish I had a similar drum set like that.

[johndonofrio84x]

sounds great what kind of mixer are you using? also what did you use to cut the holes? next time record the process of you ripping the cymbol a new one!!And yes the 18' wuhan china does sound exactly like a trash can lid....and i love it.keep on rockin

[Lej0]

Now Ur china is called Holy China (Sabian)

[SIRWAF]

jw how many mics do u use

[ransco1000]

Everything about your kit sounds fucking AWESOME! the toms are so powerful, the ozones are trashy to the extent of perfection but still maintaining a gorgeous ring on the crash and the splash is great too.

[thenordica1]

how did you make holes that big?

[AxelDubs]

OMG

[CaptainJoseph]

i really love those cymbal sounds!!!  you have just given me an idea...

[Icandrum2]

wow i would love to do with some breakdowns on that china!

[snackeye12]

china sounds like fucking steamy sex

[Mc1234Lovin]

how did you do it

[gabedestellano]

Cool... but your kick sounds like a plastic bucket.

[Eelm2ngur]

i would say that this splash you have there is the best sounding spash i have ever heard. What is that?

[MMTPproductionz]

he probably traced the holes with something then cut with like a metal autosaw or sumtin im not for sure im not really good with tools

[aintmybabyfour]

@MMTPproductionz He didn't make the holes, Mark Burton did using his CAD tool.

[ACxDrummer]

is ther a slight lag between the camera and the sound? or just me. btw love em :)

[pinkvelvet100]

the china sounds amazing man!

[Youngie761]

That whole setup just sounds cool. What kind of mic set are you using?. The toms sound amazing.

[TassinUSN]

thats called innovation kids.

[Yoooseph]

how does the crash sound for wash riding?

[claudichick21]

How did u make the o-zone

[kirkyjremy29]

How did you do that? Sounds Great!

[dallas3415]

what did u use to make the holes

[drummerkid904]

that o-zone is like something out of the virgin mary's vagina

oh dear god

[magajelly]

@drummerkid904 lololololololol



[SuperVicfirth]

im fallin in love with both of the cymbals especially the china how much u want for that

[RuneCorgi]

dude that china is badass. And I'm prepared to buy both of those cymbals.

[RuneCorgi]

dude that china is badass.

[thomassmith18]

My China is starting to crack. It's a Sabian. After I replace it with something else, I'm gonna try this with mine.

[Zachajewia1110]

dude im scarred to try tht wit my china but if it will sound tht sick im goin for it

[jimrootmag]

they bled/mix soo well with your kit. sounds nice dude

[AdlerIsMyHero94]

awesome grove! do your cymbals sound that good when ur not mixing the audio?

[MrGenericdrummer]

Those are some great O-Zones you got there. Looks like Sabian has some stuff in the works for O-Zone chinas. Check it out, they've got a prototype demo video on Memphis Drum Shop's channel. Awesome stuff.
