Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals

Zildjian L80 Cymbals: Low Volume, Real Feel

Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals are a game-changer for drummers who need to practice quietly without sacrificing the feel of real cymbals. Designed for low-volume playing in apartments, schools, teaching studios, or late-night sessions, the L80 series offers authentic cymbal response with up to 80% less volume than traditional cymbals.

Practice Without Compromise
Unlike rubber or plastic mute alternatives, L80 cymbals are made from a special alloy and feature hundreds of precision-drilled holes. This design dramatically reduces volume while preserving the stick response and rebound of standard cymbals. The result? You can play with your usual technique and still keep the peace.

Authentic Cymbal Feel
Zildjian engineered the L80 series to mimic the weight and balance of traditional cymbals. That means realistic articulation, dynamics, and sticking patterns—making them ideal for drummers who want to maintain their skills without having to “hold back” like they would on pads or mesh heads.

Ideal for a Range of Uses

• Home practice in noise-sensitive environments

• Teaching studios where instructors need to talk while students play

• Hybrid setups for electronic/acoustic drummers who want real cymbal feel with quiet output

• Drum circles or unplugged gigs where lower stage volume is preferred

Available in Complete Sets and Singles
Zildjian offers the L80 cymbals in box sets (like the popular 13"/14" Hi-Hats, 18" Crash-Ride combo), as well as individual pieces like chinas, splashes, and expanded hi-hat options. These cymbals are compatible with both acoustic and electronic drum kits for maximum flexibility.

Durable and Reliable
Made with a unique alloy and matte finish, L80 cymbals are built to last. They’re lightweight but tough enough to handle regular practice, and the finish helps reduce glare under lights.

In Conclusion
Zildjian L80 Cymbals are the go-to solution for drummers needing quiet practice without sacrificing feel. Whether you're rehearsing at home or teaching in a classroom, they let you play naturally—at a fraction of the volume.
