Sabian highlights multi-hole design with new Legacy O-Zone Ride.
A unique 5-hole design lightens the weight and increases the response rate of the Sabian Legacy O-Zone
Ride Cymbal, while adding dark, dirty bite, for a very unique sound.
The HHX Legacy O-Zone Ride is Sabian's latest
venture with its innovative multi-hole cymbal design. With 5 holes across its upper half removing a substantial amount of
metal and making this area comparatively light and responsive, the top portion is ideal for crashing. The lower portion of
the cymbal remains unlathed and is designed for riding.
Commented Sabian product specialist David Williams: "Sabian
designed 'multi-hole' cymbals as far back as the mid-nineties, but they went public when Dave Weckl sought a specific sound
and our response was the multi-holed HHX O-Zone Crash. This holed concept transforms the sound of any cymbal, making it more
responsive while increasing its aggression and bite. With the Legacy O-Zone Ride it is possible to play sounds that are dark
and dirty, or really lay into it and create a storm of roaring aggression. Whether you're looking at it or listening to it,
there is nothing else like an O-Zone."
Added Dave Weckl: "The O-Zone Crash has created such a sensation; players love
that dirty, biting sound. With the O-Zone Ride we've created a cymbal that is truly different but very useful in a wide range
of playing applications. This is one of those cymbals that have such a unique voice that there is no denying its ability to
influence the sound of any players sound."
The HHX Legacy O-Zone Ride is a medium-thin weight that-due to the holes-responds
like a thin cymbal. Playing the upper area creates a raw, trashy response. Playing the lower half produces a ride sound that
combine's soft stick articulation with a dirty wash of tone. Playing with power will generate a large, dark roar of tone.
