I'm glad I discovered these cymbals and skins in 2020 when there's a bigger range available :)

The difference in volume is amazing and they still sound great

I bought a Remo Silent Stroke for my snare and love it ! Soon I want to get these Low Volume Cymbals !

Wow....that exactly what I need. That is so cool.

That kit sounds beautiful.

I bought a pearl roadshow jr for my son and I figure I could learn on it since I already play guitar and bass. It took me like 5 seconds to realize I needed low volume cymbals and heads. Excited to get my silent strokes and L 80’s!

Mind blown. Thanks sweetwater

I played some of these and they are great.

Zildjian needs to come out with an L80 china.

A tip for people who want their drums to be a little louder. Stick a piece of duck tape or painters tape on the mesh head. You will get more tone out of it and it will get a little louder. I think the way it works is, the mesh heads allow allot of air trough the mesh. So if you allow less air to go trough it will get louder.

wow! why haven't they invented something like this years ago???

Probably the advent of these cheaply made (crappy!) Alesis and Simmons electronic drum kits that are selling like mad made the head honchos at Zildjian and Sabian realize that they better invent a way for acoustic drum set players to practice at home or they might ditch their acoustic drums and cymbals and go electric. I nearly made that mistake too. But, hell, no! Now I can even buy these low-volume cymbals used from Craigslist and Guitar Center and play my drum set in my apartment. A friend just gave me some old Zildjian cymbals for live playing...

That's really impressive

i love your drumming , hope to be that good some day

it would be nice to see a video about using the L80s and the SilentStrokes with triggers and a module

this is a great practice idea. some yamaha thr guitar amps and you can practice for hours without ringing ears and all the head fatigue

I tried to increase the volume on my computer 3 times throughout the video whenever the drums were being played, only to find out they were at 100% already. I'm buying a set of these!

These are good if you don't like or don't already have an electronic kit and you need to practice. But if you do have a decent electronic kit you might get bored of the low volume set up very quickly. Many electronic kits already have 2 (new Roland even has 3) ply mesh heads for a more realistic feel. My electronic kit set up mirrors my acoustic kit set up and I don't have any issues with the transition between the two. I've used the Gen Cymbals and they have the edge over 'electronic' cymbals in terms of natural feel (but not sound). The low volume set up is very practical but IMHO a good electronic kit meets that practicality with so much more options.

Very nice. What series is the Yamaha kit?

Additionally, the Gen 16s or the L80s work well as stackers, if you're into that sort of thing.

can you please make a video about sabian quiet tone cymbals? possibly a comparison to the L80's

I'm thinking between getting meinl cymbals and mutes or l80 and remo silentstrokes. I'm more on the l80 side now but I don't think I'll be able to afford it. Guess time will tell.

Sabian has low volume cymbals too. But the Zildjian sounds so realistic!

daaaaaammmmmmm!!!!!!! amazing!!

Does anyone know what K crash was being used in this video, sounded great

So this setup would be good for a small jam room? We try not to kill each other with volume in the small bedroom but you have to be able to play over my drums, which ends up being super loud for everyone. This seems like a perfect setup for me.

duuuudddeee - i wish i hadnt seen your video about gen16 a few months ago - you sold me and i bought the hi hat 13" and it's too loud, and also the same price as the whole pack of these :( are the gen16 louder?

The 18" in that last bundle magically becomes a crash/ride whereas in the other bundles the 18" is just a crash? Does it somehow know which box it is in and change personalities?

Could you use those cymbals and stack with something else?

Would this setup work well for someone that has severe hearing loss, and wants to jam along with music (CD boombox or isolating headphones)? Looking to protect what little hearing i have left but still jam along with music! Thanks.

This is such an amazing solution. Can't wait to try it out. I do have my doubts with the volume displayed in this video though. There's not a single yardstick to measure the sound by. The drummer even waits for the drums to ring out and chokes the cymbals before proceeding to talk. Shouldn't be necessary, right?

Why the hell didn't they make these cymbals shiny like regular cymbals are? The dull finish of them doesn't look so good and is somewhat of a disappointment. Also, what was that lower hat you were using? I will likely use a Sabian B8 as my lower if it is not too loud. How does the bottom L80 hat sound as a 14" crash cymbal up on a stand? Are the L80 upper and lower hats identical, thus interchangable, or are they marked bottom and top?

@Eljubilodeltambor

8 жыл бұрын

+David James I think the main reason is because these are made exclusively to practice... The Gen16 are Shiny and made of bronze... so they are a little bit louder... but you can still practice with those. L80 have a different alloy, and they seem not to have lathing... I'm sure this help the cymbals to be quiter. I actually play Paiste Cymbals, but since I live in an apartment, I use these L80 Cymbals to practice... even at midnight, and no neighboor had complained yet.

I noticed when he said you can bring your volume down from this- and was beating the hell out of them to try and make them as loud as possible. Then played the others normally.🤣

zildijan l80s needs to make a lot of different cymbals like splashes China cymbals ect

I dunno these seem almost too quiet. You say it's about 80% less. It might work better to be about 50% volume. Maybe I need to try it out in person.

I know this comment is 2 years old, but maybe it will help others out. You can stick a big piece of painters or ducktape on the mesh heads and it will make it louder and give you more tone. if you don't want to see the tape you can stick it on the inside of the head.

another Thing is to lower the volume even more is to remove the resonant head

I own L80s and know that they are about as loud as someone talking so his video is misleading/deceptive as to the true volume of the cymbals. To be more accurate, he should just have 1 overhead mic and just talk and play thru that and also talk and play at the same time so we can get a better feel for the volume ratio of the 2.

@davidjames1684

5 жыл бұрын

That's why it is deceptive, but also the room mic sounds way turned down. Again, those cymbals and heads are about the same volume as a person talking normally. In fact, a rim shot on the snare with a silent stroke head is actually louder than a person talking. Possibly crashing a pair of L80 18 inchers at the same time might be louder that a person talking too.
