I agree! I had it for a year and I've been playing it live (from small acoustic gigs to big concerts) and in the studio and it always fits perfectly... Sometimes on louder gigs I use another (louder) ride as well (Sabian Groove ride 21" or Meinl Byzance Sand 20" ride) but its application possibilities are really wide.
I'd say if you are looking at getting one of the Omni rides, get the HHX version and not the AAX. The AAX is way way way too bright, IMO. It literally sounds like glass breaking. Every time I crash into it, I think Stone Cold is about to come walking down my hall way.
I agree even though I like my 18" AAX but I use it as a bright crash so it's cool. On the other hand, the 22" HHX Omni is so versatile it's ridiculous... 😁
Your right, I got the AAX and kerp myself from crashing it, just to bright. Yet I do like the brightness for the cutting effect while riding it. It is just so present, it‘s amazing
+lefevredrummer I know there's plenty of cymbals out there that that would do better job if not close enough. I think older cymbals that have some use and grime have opened up their tone better ... but I just wish I could bring 5 or six into my studio and give them all comparative time. ($800 for a thing to smash bash and tap is a lot of $ - can't justify it)
Total respect to both guys who are far more accomplished than I am...but it seems the omni just has a lovely crash and bell, you can get that on most crash/rides. Where's the stick definition, from the unlathed area? This doesn't seem to be a new kind of cymbal...
bombcollective I think some of that is being washed out by both players doing different things on the cymbal simultaneously and some mediocre mixing with the two kits and the bass, but it could just have some dead-ass sticking. Who knows?

THIS IS THE BEST DRUM ADVERTISEMENT OF ALL TIME!
Two years and half-a-billion drum advertisements later - I still agree!
Best advertisement ever*
Props to the bass player!
Bass players!!
He should immediately get a raise.
The quality of the sound coming off the 22" Omni HHX is outstanding. A really well engineered cymbal.
LanceCampeau well if its lancecampeau approved^^

So if I buy this cymbal, do they both come with it? I could use them at my gigs...
Two drummers of the very best today . Pushing and pushing . keep evolving . open the minds
Jojo's face at 3:28 . great shot.
Love how mark quoted Locked in the Basement at 2:50
Too Cool for school here. Great creativity and Musical expressions.
best. drum. advertising. ever.
I'm buying this today. Might take me a couple weeks to be able to do this tho, tbh.
Love this vid. Mutual respect, great cymbal, and most of all, having fun !
I love the OMNI especially for a drummer on a budget like me. For how awesome it sounds it's a great price. And the BELL! Oh the bell!
That was like So So Great. I loved this collaboration.
just like father and son.. :O
2 drummers 1 cymbal O_O
Two gens of gods of drumming.... #hhx4ever
Absolutely INSANE. I can't believe my ears!!!!!!!!
Sly quotation of Locked in a Basement haha nice
and even from that girl from stockholm later ;)
I heard it too haha
This looks like a great idea for a concert series.
This is insanely good.
This is the BADDEST duo ever ✊💥
that was most fucking excellent!
tuned my ears in and set to lock... excellent ;)
All of this work just to advertise ONE cymbal. You'll know it's a great cymbal too if you realize Jojo Mayer still uses it to his gigs to this day.
that's so cool guys!! thank's
Two drummers is the best format. That's James Brown used it. You can really hear it here: The two drummers are driving each other. Sounds fantastic.
does anyone said shut the fuck up and let me hear the actual cymbal? or it was just me?
I'm with you
It's soo good .
this is exactly how this ride makes me want to play drums like
I'm pretty sure Jojo Mayer's son is playing bass...His name is: Michael League
How lucky is Mark to get the chance to play with Jojo ..........
all that in one cymbal nice
amazingggg!
great video rite here
How ist that tone of the bass called?
that bassist is on fire
John Davis is an animal bassist/engineer.
sweet! Ilove my OMNI
At 2:49, that Heernt feel
That's cause it is a song from Heernt, called Locked In a Basement.

That bass player though?!
The best
NICE.
impressive yes
Big Trip!!_-
Thanks for complicating it
what I've been looking for and "saying" for 20yrs. now if they were only affordable ...
+ryanbsloan transcendentalaccidentalism If you have been looking for something like this for that long the price should surely be worth it.

This is like 2 guys on 1 girl 3some.
Gee I'll pass.
Great playing. However, that bass sounds atrocious.
jerry hello he uses an octave pedal to get a synth bass sound, i love it!!!
