Zildjian - L80 Low Volume 18" Crash Ride

The Zildjian L80 Low Volume 18" Crash Ride is for drummers who want to continue playing naturally, even in environments where the volume has to be kept under control. Whether you're in your own flat, personal studio, classroom or quiet rehearsals, this cymbal has been designed to retain the feel of real acoustic playing without the usual noise level of a classic crash-ride.

Thanks to its special perforated structure, the volume is reduced by up to 80%, while retaining a highly realistic response under the sticks. When used as a ride, the strokes remain well defined, with a clear feel under the right hand. When crashed, the cymbal opens easily with a smooth, controlled response, useful for working on transitions and accents without saturating the room.

Its 18-inch diameter and medium-thin weight contribute to this fluid, natural feel. The bounce remains close to that of a traditional cymbal, helping to maintain playing habits and strike dynamics during daily work.

With its sandblasted matt finish and distinctive feel, this crash-ride can also be used in hybrid setups or combined with other L80 elements to create discreet, modern textures at low volume.
