Description
Overview
The Zildjian 14″ L80 Low Volume Hi Hats provide a professional drumming experience while drastically reducing the noise floor of your practice environment. Engineered to be up to 80% quieter than traditional cymbals, these hi hats allow drummers to maintain their technique and feel without the disruptive volume of standard bronze cymbals.
Designed for those who need to balance their passion for drumming with the constraints of their surroundings, the L80 series delivers an authentic response and feel, making them an essential tool for home practice, studio tracking, or low-volume performances.
Key Details
- Significant Volume Reduction: Engineered to be up to 80% quieter than conventional cymbals, reducing noise pollution in shared living or working spaces.
- Authentic Playability: Specifically designed to mimic the feel and response of traditional Zildjian cymbals, ensuring your muscle memory remains intact.
- Versatile Integration: While designed as a dedicated hi hat pair, these components can be used as stackers or combined with other L80 cymbals to create unique sonic effects.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand regular practice sessions while maintaining the specific acoustic properties required for low-volume output.
Use Cases
- Home Practice: Ideal for apartment dwellers or those with neighbors who require a significant reduction in decibel levels.
- Drum Lessons: Perfect for educational settings where multiple students may be practicing simultaneously, or where a teacher needs to hear the student clearly.
- Low-Volume Gigs: Suitable for intimate venues, coffee shops, or acoustic sets where a full-volume drum kit would overwhelm the performance.
- Silent Rehearsals: Allows for full-kit coordination and timing practice without the need for electronic pads or triggers.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and utilizes standard drum hardware. These hi hats are designed to fit onto any standard hi hat stand. Simply place the bottom cymbal on the seat and secure the top cymbal using the clutch mechanism. Because they are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing L80 sets, they can be swapped in and out of your setup quickly depending on your volume requirements.
Compatibility
- Hardware: Compatible with all standard hi hat stands and clutches.
- System Integration: Fully compatible with other Zildjian L80 Low Volume cymbals, including the 20″ Ride, 10″ Splash, 8″ Crash Ride, and 16″ Crash.
