UFO 18" Low Volume China

About UFO 18" Low Volume China

With this 18" China cymbal, drummers with slightly larger drum setups also have the opportunity to recreate their original cymbal setups using UFO cymbals when they need to turn down the volume or create a practice setup resembling their original configuration.

The China cymbal features the same distinctive design we are familiar with from other China cymbals, thus adding the classic China cymbal look to your practice setup.

Finally, the UFO China cymbal can also be used to create cymbal stacks when you're experimenting with building them yourself.

A UFO 18-inch China cymbal weighs approximately 1000 grams and is made of zinc.

About UFO Cymbals

Imagine the possibility of playing drums in your apartment, your summer house, or virtually anywhere, without your regular cymbals generating too much noise.

With a set of UFO cymbals, you can actually play the drums without disturbing your neighbors (provided your drums are equipped with mesh heads or are dampened in some other way).

UFO cymbals can also be combined with practice pads, allowing you to transition from simple snare drum exercises with just one practice pad to playing full grooves, creating a much more drum set-like experience. This is achieved by using practice pads for both the snare and kick drum, along with a UFO hi-hat and possibly other UFO cymbals.

Finally, you can also use them on an electronic drum set if you want a more realistic alternative to the rubber pads typically found on such kits. (If you're using headphones, it might be a good idea to consider using two microphones to capture the sound of the cymbals so they can blend with the electronic drum sounds.)

The best part of it all is that these cymbals are not particularly expensive.

Why They Play Quieter

The reason UFO cymbals don't produce a very loud sound is that they feature a series of small holes. This reduces the amount of material in the cymbals and, as a result, their ability to generate sound.

How They Feel to Play

You might be concerned that cymbals filled with small holes could feel strange to play. However, they actually feel quite similar to regular cymbals when you're playing them.

Great for Educational Use

UFO cymbals are also perfect for schools and music schools since they allow for teaching without subjecting the music teacher to unwanted ear and head fatigue, which often occurs when using standard cymbals.
