Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals deliver an impressive drumming experience while significantly reducing noise levels, making them ideal for practice and quieter gigs. Their authentic feel and design, featuring advanced sound-reducing technology, allow for a genuine cymbal experience without the overwhelming volume. However, they may not suffice for louder performances, as their low output could leave some players wanting more punch during live sessions. While they excel at providing a realistic practice environment, potential users should consider their limitations in louder settings. Overall, the L80s shine in controlled environments, but might leave gigging drummers a bit underwhelmed.

In this video from Zildjian, Drew Shoals discusses his use of the L80 range of low-volume cymbals. He says:

I’m set up with my practice kit I got my Zildjian low-volume 80 cymbals and I'm just outside of my tour bus, just trying to warm up and get ready for the show. Typically, when I'm traveling on tour, I like to get a chance to warm up before the show and jam with the guys in the band and start running through some of the songs that were gonna play during the set, and it's just great to have kind of a controlled low-volume set up for the ability to practice backstage.

But I also live in New York City and I live in an apartment and so I have also used them in my small apartment situation when I want to practice, and I don't want to bother the neighbors. so it's really good in both of those situations. No complaints so far.

They have the same response as a regular symbol. So when you're when you're just kind of like getting like a pinging sound out of them, it's actually not that much different than a regular symbol, and I'm like whacking on these and they're not building up, you know. But the feel is great it really feels like a normal symbol.

What I notice, is when you crash them is when you really appreciate the lower volume. In that backstage or apartment kind of situation, where you want to have a quiet volume, they're perfect for for that.
