Key Features
The Sabian HH 18'' O-Zone Crash Cymbal employs 2'' holes to increase tone agitation, creating a trashy and raw sound. As a result, the remastered O-Zone Crash sounds thinner and more musical than the standard model, while delivering more hammering, more complexity and more tone. The Sabian HH 18'' O-Zone Crash Cymbal is hand-crafted and hand-hammered, giving each cymbal its own unique character that stands out in any cymbal set up.
Using B20 alloy and traditional hand-hammering techniques from Sabians time-tested craftsman, this HH O-Zone produces a vintage-esque tone with a modern twist that makes it extremely versatile in any musical setting.

When Sabian was first launched in 1982, Hand Hammered (HH) cymbals were the first products they manufactured - and these were the cymbals that made drummers all over the world fall in love with Sabian. Now, Sabian have remastered these original cymbals to produce models with added complexity and tone, delivering unmatched sonic texture across the entire line. Depending on the size and model, each remastered HH cymbal is hand hammered up to 3,000 times - in some cases more.
Sabians HH cymbals are hand-hammered into shape to achieve the perfect Sabian sound. Each cymbal receives between 2,000 and 4,000 hammer blows, which results in an increase in musicality, tonal complexity and unmatched sonic texture. The HH cymbals are renowned for their dark sound, which is achieved for hammering the B20 metal design cymbal into perfect standard. These vintage style cymbals are extremely popular and praised by many musical greats.
''Traditional Turkish hand hammering is more than just our history,'' explained Sabian Master Sound Specialist Mark Love, ''It's our DNA. We've been using traditional hand hammering techniques since day one.
