Finally, a comparison video that establishes a control to compare the quiet cymbals to! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[coltonmykael]

Thank you for showcasing the products. I see a lot of "reviews" with people busting out the killer chops and crazy grooves and it's so distracting.

I live in a town house and have used regular cymbals and gotten a noise complaint. Got the Zildjian ones for Christmas (also with the Remo silenced heads) and they're amazing! Definitely would recommend.

I have a set of L80's for my kit at my house. I love them and they definitely are quiet but still feel like real cymbals

[veerchasm]

The Zildjians sound like cymbals...the Sabians sound like dinner chimes

[luisdavidchavez]

I use the L80s and RTOM Black holes, and the result is a great practice kit for apartment drummers such as myself. I tried out both the quiet tones and L80s and you can't go wrong with neither imo. Go with the Quiet Tones if you still want a brighter, more natural-like feeling cymbals, and go with the L80s if you just want to really tone down the volume. Keep in mind the Quiet Tones are a bit louder than the L80s.

Great video!

Thank you for the side by side by side comparison style - it really puts into perspective the differences to expect.

Finally a drum shop guy with a nice touch on the intrument - thank you!

I play the Zildjians along with Aquarian OnHead pads. Great low-volume solution.

[jamesspafford]

I love my L80 Zildjians!!! Just as a thought, you guys should do a full comparison using Remo Silent Stroke heads also. It's nice to see that we drummers finally have some pretty cool options for bringing the volume down!!!

[PaulC-Drums]

These are both awesome. Personally I prefer the sabians because they have that real cymbal brightness. After all the goal is to simulate Real playing as much as possible. It's why I don't like playing an electric kit just for quiet's sake

[cosmostallone]

Also drummers can use hot rod sticks. This will lower the volume even more. To keep the volume on a more even key, Remo Silent Stroke Heads are a excellent choice. Another option for your bass drum using a standard drum head and a TAMA BSQ10S Soft Sound Beater. Again, it comes down to your personal preference.

Thanks so much for the comparisons! I was already leaning towards the Sabian and thi as clinches it for me. I'm actually gonna try using them in the bars and outdoor gigs I play.

$45 FOR RIMRISER? ITS JUST A TINY PIECE OF WOOD

[margovallen]

I have a four piece Remo practice pad kit from probably, the late 60's--early 70's.. which, I love. Would enjoy having some noiseless hihats and a ride to practice with for *RELATIVELY* referring to the Remo practice kit, not the silent cymbals. Actually, disturbed a neighbor in my (next door) apartment with my Remo practice kit. What a major WIMP.

[Jetty-xdyc]

I've always been a Zildjian player. But if I'm going to be honest the Sabian sound better. Darn it!

[Davesworld]

I'm digging the sabian quiet tone Cymbals

[slashr]

Sabian are louder and sound better to my ears. I normally play A Customs. They need to come out with in between, like a medium volume. Heads too. The mesh heads are just a little too quiet. I don't have people under or next to me, I'm just too loud at night and that's the only time I have sometimes

[managuamarc]

Sabians are stainless steel vs. a proprietary bronze alloy with the L80's. To me the Sabians are a bit "clangy" metallic (I've played both up close) - Zildjians sound warmer and more pleasing to me. Also check out the Meinl HCS low volume...even though the HCS are a beginners cymbal, the low volume versions are a brass alloy that sounds actually pretty good...
