Avedis Zildjian Company Quiet Pack Low Volume Accessory Package - L80 Cymbals Remo Silentstroke Heads

And no one can hear them upstairs when I'm beating the heck out of them in our garage. We can hear our garage door going up and down, we can hear everyone's car doors around us, but we cannot hear the drum heads at all. The cymbals are very quiet as well, and I've wailed on these things almost as hard as I can since I bought them. No complaints.This is the best money I've spent as a drummer on equipment purely from a practical standpoint. Electronic kits are fine, but it's not the same as beating on a real drum set and real metal cymbals. There simply is no substitute. A few well-placed pieces of tape and you get a little tone and a lot of very good feel. When these wear out eventually, I will absolutely buy them again.

Crazy Quiet: Reduced volume about 80% on the cymbals and 90% on the heads. The sound quality of the cymbals is not great like a student or beginners set as they are stamped and not rolled out. They do have tonal groves cut in them and have a golden bronze sand blasted finish, but I can now play three feet from my wife when she plays acoustic piano and we can enjoy it. Any good drummer knows, he or she can make a OK set of drums sing. The head are so quiet that at times I have added some blue or green painters tape to the top of the silent stroke heads to get some more volume out of them. The feel is the feel of regular heads and cymbals, it is a bit weird to have the normal tactile feedback on the drums with such low volume. I have used rubber pads and cymbal mutes before, these cymbals and heads are a vastly superior method to that. Had I know how well they would work out I would have bought these long ago and not spent the money on the rubber pads and cymbal mutes.

For years I have been hesitant to go and play my drums without any restraint due to the loud volume in the house and in the neighborhood. The silent pack was a great start to allowing me to do just that, and at a much lower volume. You can barely hear the drums and cymbals upstairs and not at all outside the house. I plan on adding on more cymbals in the future, but this starter pack with heads and cymbals is definitely worth the money getting everything you need to start off silent! Highly recommend this pack!

These really kick started my practicing. Playing on an electronic kit or practice pad is just no fun. I set up my gig kit with these and have been beating the snot out of them for the last month. The heads are a little “springy” so don’t think you can get normal remo ambassador rebound here... but they are close enough for rock/blues/jazz wood shedding. Really quiet, the cymbals are durable and very low volume so you can bash away and your neighbors won’t have a clue. Added back a lot of fun to practicing

I didn’t expect to enjoy practicing on these so much. Drums still resonate enough to give a note and the cymbals do their job, the hi hats are especially great though. Let’s you hear enough to play melodically but most of the noise is just the stick so you can hear articulation very well without the noise of an acoustic drum. Great for fine tuning timing and practicing precision on. I didn’t expect this to probably be the way I practice and write parts on and now will save my ears and play my acoustic kit at shows and band practice with in ears in.

I recently bought a 5 piece, $200 drum set for rehearsals.Granted, the kit was cheap and not very good sounding.However, for installing this quiet pack for practice, it worked really well!For under $600 I had purchased myself a drum kit, that I could practice with without the neighbors hearing it; and that felt like a real drum kit (not an electronic one).The pros:The quiet pack is a cheap way to make your drums quiet, without losing the real feel of the drums.It's cheaper than buying the perforated cymbals and mesh heads separate.It consists of most commonly used sizes, and additional cymbals or heads can be purchased separately to add to this set.I think it will be very popular on Amazon, for people who need a way to practice drums without waking the neighbors.The toms somewhat change tone, due to the mesh being tuned differently than regular (full plastic) head skins.The cymbals work really well, are pretty quiet.The package consists of the most common cymbals.The ride cymbal is clear and bright, as is the hi-hat.The bottom springs on the snare can be heard perfectly well (volume wise) compared to the rest of the kit!Overall, this kit would (volume wise) complement an acoustic guitar and one or two people singing not very loud and unamplified.Cons:If I could improve this pack, I would do the following:Give the crash cymbal a wider solid metal border, or wider perforating setting.The crash cymbal is the quietest of the three by at least 6 to 9 dB, if not 12 or 24dB, and giving it more substance will help it level the volume with the rest of the kit.The toms, the mid and especially the low tom, are much too low in volume!I purchased a black dot stickers to paste on the mesh to give it more volume.You can also use regular tape, but I bought the dots, for cool factor.Taping off some of the mesh head (like 2x4in) increases volume somewhat, compared to running it stock, without tape.The bass kick mesh is way too quiet, and very similar to using your kick pedal directly on a pillow.It is for this that I bought a set of 5 black dot stickers; which can be purchased here:  Cannon UP7D 7-Inch Dots I pasted 3 on the bass kick, in the shape of Mickey Mouse (the center dot is where the kick pedal hits, in the center of the skin; and the 2 other dots where Mickey's ears are).This is slightly too loud, and I would recommend 2 black dots on the bass kick instead (I just like the mickey design, so I do with a little louder).The other 2 dots were pasted, one for the large tom in the center, where it amplifies the sound best.The other for the mid tom, on the top, where I hit it least. It's off center, just to keep the right volume with the other toms.The smaller the mesh diameter, the louder they sound, thus the larger, the more sticker area to keep up with the volume.The use of any plastic stickers or tape on the cymbals only results in a negative experience (muffled cymbals).I suppose I could increase the noise by installing small rings (like of a chain) in the perforated sections of the cymbals, to improve sound, but haven't done that yet.The cymbals look like they are sanded down, gold colored steel dishes. Not shiny copper, like you'd be used to on cymbals.Lastly, the tone of this kit is not the best.If you are expecting it to sound good on a million dollars drum set, they won't.They generally don't sound good at all, but for practice they will just do fine!Any questions, feel free to ask!

I am a professional drum teacher. I used to have on my instrument those pads that peel and give off the black bits that fly everywhere. It was certainly not as convenient as those pads and cymbals. First of, the surfaces are not gummy and slow, they are swift and hard and fast, just like a real drum head or a real cymbal. Second, they are very quiet. So much so that a drummer can wail on them and not disturb the sleeping person in the next room. Third, they are strong. You can bang on them, really lay strongly on those things: they can take it.The only draw back is the soft (too soft?) bass drum. But the easy fix is a sticking a couple layer of duct tape where the beater meets the head and you got yourself more volume. This is a great product.

I live in an apartment with lots of others around me, but I am in a band that I need to stay sharp for. When talking to music store reps, I was told that I would never be able to get my Gretsch Catalina Maples down to a level that is acceptable for an apartment. I used an electronic kit for a while, but I found myself getting screwed up whenever I would move back to my acoustic kit. So I went and bought one Silent Stroke 14" skin to test it and it worked great! I decided I would skin my whole kit and get the cymbals as well. Buying them on their own would have cost me around $800 CAD, but this kit cost me around $380+tax, so about half of the cost! This gets my recommendation, and I definitely recommend trying to pick up this pack instead of buying the parts on their own.

Excelente producto. Sí aísla un gran porcentaje del sonido. Fácil de utilizar. La sensibilidad es ligeramente distinta, sin embargo el producto es bueno para el fin que se diseñó. Llegó rápido y en buenas condiciones; sin contratiempos.

This set is so nice as it was so quiet. Before when my son played the drums in the basement we could even hear him outside the house and across the street. Now, we can stay with him without earbuds and can truly enjoy. A must if you want to practice at home without causing grief to your family 🙂

Exelente
