    WTG gretschfan! I don't do any mods, but I know that Larrysperf has also made his own O-Zone cymbal.

    I've done a repair/mod to my 17" crash, didn't change the sound to much but I'm starting to not like the sound anymore. I'm thinking of another 18" Wuhan then drill and rivet the new 18 and one of my 16's. There Wuhan there inexspensive if it doesn't sound very good I can get another.

    YIKES! What happened? Not sure that can be repaired to any useful state.

    No wonder you want all new cymbals.

    I wanted a Paragon 20" Diamondback china, but don't want to pay $300.00 for it and can't find any used ones. So I took my 20" Wuhan china and bought some big jingles from Sabian, along with some rivets I already had. Drilled 8 holes and wa la. A poor man's Paragon Diamondback china.
