Hey drummers, let’s take a look at two great low-volume solutions for your drum kit: Zildjian’s L80 low-volume cymbals, and Remo’s Silentstroke drumheads. Between these cymbals and drumheads, you can drastically reduce the volume of your drum set for practice or intimate performance spaces.
Zildjian L80 low-volume cymbals sound like Zildjian cymbals, just much quieter. The key is the perforation pattern, which reduces volume while maintaining the tone and feel of real cymbals.
Remo’s Silentstroke drumheads serve a similar purpose for your drums. These mesh heads maintain much of the feel of normal drumheads, so you can practice rudiments at a much lower volume while maintaining the response you’re accustomed to.
These are great practice solutions, and the cymbals in particular are suitable for performance if you find yourself playing in a small, intimate setting that would normally become overwhelmed with full-volume cymbals.

it would be nice to see a video about using the L80s and the SilentStrokes with triggers and a module
avaliable for only 2680986436808654468$$
I never in my life thought I’d say, ” I can’t hear the drums”. I’m done
Could you use those cymbals and stack with something else?
Can these cut through a band during practice sessions? (2 Guitars, Bass, and 4 vocals?)
wow
The aquarian silencing pads work better.
Congratulation for this great amazing video !!!
is the bass drum skin good for double bass drumming ? mostly extreme metal drumming. thanks
another Thing is to lower the volume even more is to remove the resonant head
Zildjian needs to come out with an L80 china.
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
they need a China
Insane! need to hear in person though, I feel
Does anybody think that using silentstroke heads as resonant heads would give better tone than using them as batter heads?
that gives me trypophobia
hi. I would like to ask if there’s international shipping?
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?
zildijan l80s needs to make a lot of different cymbals like splashes China cymbals ect
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!
Very nice. What series is the Yamaha kit?
Soooo, what’s the difference between the L80’s and the Gen16’s?
A lot of churches are going to purchase these.
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?
yip watched Kevin Nazario video, there loud!! not silent. misleading video
Wow….that exactly what I need. That is so cool.
wow! why haven’t they invented something like this years ago???
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.
Does anyone know what K crash was being used in this video, sounded great
it almost sounds fake
Someone should be speaking while the drummer is playing for a better comparison. It’s hard to tell the change of volume in a video like this.
Additionally, the Gen 16s or the L80s work well as stackers, if you’re into that sort of thing.
That is so quiet, wish I could hear them live. I don’t know though, as cool and quiet they are, it seems like so much effort to change heads and cymbals for just some practice
Great vid, I’m sold.
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.
All they did was lower the volume for the demo. That’s why he did not talk. LOL Fake.
id be interested in a hybrid version of half standard volume
daaaaaammmmmmm!!!!!!! amazing!! <3
When are you getting these in stock?
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?
I would go with the Gen16
