My Homemade O-Zone cymbals

I decided to sacrifice a couple of my cymbals, and experiment a little, and see If i could produce a O-zone cymbal.

I decided to use my 16" Wuhan S Series thin crash, and i was pleasantly surprised how good it turned out, the cymbal just sounds so much better as you will hear.

I also decided to take my 18" Wyhan china and make a O-zone china out of it, this has not been produced(YET) by any cymbal manufacturer, but curiosity struck and I hated the way the Wuhan sounded before, so I have nothing to loose. Well it turned out amazing in my opinion, the cymbal is 100% better sounding than before.

I have a very good friend by the name of Mark Burton, he is a machinist(Mark Burton Machine is his business name), he helped me make these, using his CAD tool, he was able to place the holes in perfect order and spacing for the individual cymbal, and was able to help determine what the best size hole would be for each cymbal, thanks mark.

The 16" we used 2" holes, 6 holes total, with spacing 5" apart, and 3" from outer edge of cymbal.

The 18" we used 2" for the outside holes, and 1.5" holes on the inside, I am not sure what the spacings were, I am sorry for that.
