Zildjian's Low Volume range of cymbals have many purposes, and the company has added an 18" China to the existing L80 line. Low Volume cymbals 70 to 80% quieter than traditional cymbals and serve their purpose very well in situations like practicing, teaching, live in small bars or even when you use them as stackers. Even with its 18" size, the new china can be used to create cool new sound effects on top of your regular cymbals.
