I too tried this exact experiment a couple months ago with a very thick 15" crash. Not sure if the effect was resonance or wave focus or both, but after about five tracks I pulled out the cymbal and replaced it with a large throw pillow and the throw pillow has stayed. And it probably will stay until I am motivated to properly solve the apparent bass node problem centered between my speakers.
Just for giggles I moved the cymbal to the back of the room. Standing next to it I could hear it ringing. So it went back into storage.
For the reasons stated up thread this simple experiment does not rule out positive effects from the Novum.
