Zildjian 20" Low Volume Ride

So I own the 14inch HH, the 16' Crash, the 18' crash/ride and this one. This feel the least like 'a low volume cymbal' out of all of those, probably also the loudest.

The bell is nice and crisp, sound very much like and actual bell and when riding it you get some nice sound.

As these cymbals, like the other ones, are heavily coated you leave dark finger print marks all over them when you touch them (it takes a while for the oils in your fingers to eat into the coating). I don't know if there is a way to prevent this or restore them but I kind of like the look, so I don't bother.

Overall very happy with my ride, I use them with an electric kit for practice and this beats any rubber cymbal out there without coming close.

Great service from Thomann, good invention of Zildjian, thumbs up. The L80's are really the best tool at this moment to practice your cymbal skills. And yes, I did a lot of research about 'silent drums'.

About this 20"; sorry, I'm not impressed. Why? They even sound higher then a 18" L80, which are more versatile as a crash/ride.

Yes, the 20" look good like all big cymbals, and yes, they are maybe just a bit more balanced, better for very fast and VERY HARD HITTING ride grooves. But with a good technique you can do the same with the 18".

May I suggest you to try and buy the old L80-packages, which are better because they are more versatile, and cheaper.
