Remo Silent Stroke and Zildjian Gen16 Demo

Practice On Your Drum Kit Quietly With Two Great Products From Remo and Zildjian!

In this video Nick D'Virgilio is demonstrating two amazing products from Remo and Zildjian. Remo Silent Stroke Drumheads and the Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze cymbals give us drummers the ability to practice on our drum kits at up to 70% less volume! How many times have you been right in the middle of a practice session and been told to stop because it was to loud? I bet the answer is many times.

Drums are loud and that is just the nature of the beast; consequently, we are expected to just practice on pads or maybe an electronic kit so as to not offend the neighbors. I can tell you from personal experience what a hassle it is to have to stop right in the middle of a very intense practice session. We practice our instrument in order to hone our craft and build strength and stamina. Practice pads are great for a lot of things but they cannot take the place of your drum kit; that's where the Remo Silent Stroke drumheads and Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze Cymbals come in.

Remo makes the heads for Roland's electronic drum kits like the TD30. If you have ever played on one of those drum kits then you will be familiar with the way the Silent Stroke drum heads feel. They are a single ply mesh drum head. When put on a regular drum shell like a snare, tom, or kick drum, they have a soft and springy feel and make a lot less sound. It is actually amazing how much less sound they make, but they also have feel and tone. You can definitely hear pitch between the toms, the snare wires on the bottom of the snare snap just like they normally do, and the kick drum has low end.

The Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze cymbals are real cymbals! They are perforated with many holes and that is what gets them to be so much quieter. Even with all of those smalls holes they feel very nice in the hands and do what cymbals are supposed to do. They respond to every playing nuance from your drum sticks, brushes, and mallets. The Gen16 cymbals can also be used as electronic cymbals. You can buy separately the Gen16 Digital Cymbal Processor and pick-ups that mount underneath the bells of the cymbals. You can also buy a package that has the cymbals, the Gen16 Digital Cymbal Processor, and the pick-ups all together. It is a very cool system that I will be reviewing in another video; however, for the purposes of this video I am using the cymbals as a practice tool.

Remo Silent Stroke Drumheads and the Zildjian Gen16 Buffed Bronze cymbals are two great products. Put the two together and you can really practice to your hearts content and not bother anyone, so go and get your groove on!
