The 9 Best quiet electronic Cymbals (2023 reviews)

The hi hats are very quiet and very close to real hi hats. They respond (and sound) like regular cymbals but with a much quieter sound. They are "real" cymbals that really sound like cymbals so you aren't wailing away on a rubber practice pad stuck over your favorite ride. It feels good to play a low volume set.

The L80 low volume cymbal is up to 80% quieter than a traditional cymbal and is the perfect solution for practice spaces, small drum lesson rooms, low volume gigs or anywhere you want to play and not be louder than real hi hats. It is perfect for those in living arrangements that requires low volume. It is a bit thick and isn't as bright sounding as a "real" hand-hammered 10" splash, but it still isn't a bad cymbal at all.

Why We Like This:

Great for practicing in an apartment, neighbors can barely hear them
Great for apartment set ups or anywhere noise is an issue
Perfect for smaller rooms, everyone that plays these wants them
Definitely can be used in a coffee shop or church
