The 13/14/18 Sabian Quiet Tone Practice Cymbal Set was created specifically for low volume sessions. Sabian Quiet Tone Practice Cymbals are designed to respond and feel like traditional cymbals - right down to their clearly defined bell - so you won't have to hit and play harder than you do during performances. This is not the case with other practice cymbals, which can sound muffled or dead - not a good quality in a practice cymbal. Drummers will appreciate their greatly reduced sonic footprint during practice sessions, drum lessons or any time they use Quiet Tone Practice Cymbals. Additionally, Quiet Tone Practice Cymbals are manufactured from a tough, durable alloy that resists denting or breaking, making them the best choice in low-volume cymbals.
