BRD-S Low Volume CymbalsPearl Drums is pleased to introduce the new BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals, the latest addition to the BRD cymbal series.  Designed specifically for low-noise practice, the BRD-S features precision-drilled perforations across the playing surface. This special construction significantly reduces volume while maintaining the natural stick feel, rebound, and response of a traditional acoustic cymbal. Players can enjoy realistic cymbal performance without the excessive sound levels typically associated with full-volume cymbals. Whether you're practicing in an apartment, rehearsing at home, warming up backstage before a show, or playing in venues with strict volume restrictions, the BRD-S allows you to focus on technique and musical expression while keeping sound levels under control. It also pairs well with electronic drum kits, providing a more authentic playing experience than rubber cymbal pads. The set includes a 20" Ride, 18" Crash, 16" Crash, and 14" Hi-Hats, allowing drummers to experience the full range of cymbal techniques and tonal variations. From articulate ride patterns on the bow to full-bodied crashes at the edge and expressive accents on the bell, the BRD-S delivers dynamic response and realistic performance characteristics at a fraction of the volume of conventional cymbals. To make transportation easy, the set also comes with a dedicated cymbal bag, making it ideal for drummers who regularly move between practice spaces, rehearsal rooms, lessons, and live venues. Combining practicality, portability, and excellent value for money, the BRD-S is an ideal solution for drummers looking to practice more often without compromising on feel or performance. Watch the comparison video to hear the difference in volume between the BRD-S Low Volume Cymbals and the standard BRD-1 cymbals.   Also Available: BRD-1 CymbalsFor drummers seeking a full-volume acoustic cymbal at an affordable price, the BRD-1 Brass Cymbal Set remains available as part of the BRD series.  Crafted from brass and designed with a focus on musical sound and everyday usability, the BRD-1 offers excellent value for beginners, students, rehearsal studios, and drummers looking for a reliable practice or backup cymbal set. Its balanced tone and accessible price make it an ideal entry-level option without sacrificing essential performance characteristics. Whether you're building your first drum kit or looking for a cost-effective cymbal solution, the BRD-1 delivers dependable performance and great value.  BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals Product Pagehttps://pearldrum.com/global/products/options-accessories/cymbal/brd-s-low-volume-practice-cymbalsBRD-1 Cymbals Product Pagehttps://pearldrum.com/global/products/options-accessories/cymbal/brd-1-cymbals
