UFO
Our first range of low volume cymbals are the UFO Low Volume Practice Cymbals, durable zinc cymbals specially designed for practice use. They have the same feel and response as traditional cymbals - but with a lot less of the sound. Side by side, UFO cymbals feel the same from the bell to the edge, and even carry some of the same sound characteristics, but at a greatly reduced volume, meaning you are still able to hear yourself play without having to hit the cymbals harder! These affordable cymbals can be great additions to a small practice kit, or to add to an electronic kit for an even more 'real feel'. Alternatively you can add them onto your traditional cymbals to create cymbal stacks and give your kit that added personality!

Zildjian L80
The Zildjian L80 cymbals are perfect for practise sessions thanks to their low volume, created by the special alloy construction and matte finish. Reducing the high frequencies, the L80 Zildjian cymbals have been designed to be up to 80% quieter than your typical cymbal. These L80 Low Volume cymbals still bring you an excellent sound and respond just like any other Zildjian cymbal so you're playing feel will remain realistic.
