Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Zildjian’s 20-inch L80 Ride is built for practice and rehearsal when normal cymbal volume would be a problem. Its specialized pattern and proprietary alloy reduce high-frequency overtones, making it rated up to 80% quieter than a traditional cymbal. The integrated low-volume design lets you work on technique without adding dampening pads, while retaining familiar dynamic feel, musical tone, and crisp, full sustain. Medium weight makes it suited to a dedicated practice setup or a lower-volume gig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing ride technique in apartments, dorms, and other shared spaces where loud cymbals are undesirable.
- Adding a 20-inch ride to a low-volume rehearsal setup or quieter performance rig.
