Practice Drum Heads & Low Volume Cymbals UK - Into Music Store

Converting your acoustic drum kit for quiet home practice has never been easier. At Into Music Store, one of the UK's leading independent drum retailers, we stock a comprehensive range of practice drum heads and low-volume cymbals from trusted brands including Remo, Evans, Zildjian, Meinl, and RTOM.

Mesh practice drum heads are the most popular way to reduce the volume of an acoustic kit. They replace your standard drum heads and can reduce overall kit volume by up to 80%, while maintaining a realistic playing feel and rebound that is far closer to an acoustic head than a rubber practice pad. Remo Silentstroke heads are among the most widely used mesh heads in the world, available in individual sizes from 12" to 22" and in convenient multi-head packs for fusion and rock configurations. Evans dB One heads offer a similar low-volume performance with the build quality and consistency that Evans is known for across their full drum head range.

The RTOM Black Hole system takes a different approach. Rather than replacing your existing drum heads, the Black Hole snap-on mesh heads fit directly over your current heads without any tools or re-tuning. This makes them ideal for drummers who want a fast, reversible solution - you can switch between full-volume and low-volume playing in seconds. The range covers sizes from 8" to 22", making it possible to equip every drum in your kit.

Low-volume cymbals complete the quiet kit setup. The Zildjian L80 range is the industry benchmark for low-volume cymbal performance, reducing cymbal volume by up to 80% while retaining the weight, feel, and response of a standard cymbal. Available as individual hi-hats, crashes, rides, and china cymbals, or as complete box sets for a convenient all-in-one solution. Meinl Practice HCS cymbals offer an accessible entry point into low-volume cymbal playing at a competitive price point.

Whether you are searching for a drum store UK, looking for a drum shop near me, or browsing drum kits for sale alongside practice accessories, Into Music Store has one of the widest selections of practice heads and low-volume cymbals available from a UK independent retailer. We offer UK next day delivery available on orders placed before our daily cut-off, and our Horncastle, Lincolnshire showroom is open for customers who want to try products in person before they buy.

For personalised advice on building the best low-volume practice setup for your kit, call our team of experienced drummers on 01507 526517, browse our full range at intomusicstore.com, or visit us in store in Horncastle as a secondary option if you are in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mesh practice drum head is a low-volume replacement head made from a woven mesh material rather than standard Mylar film. When struck, the mesh absorbs the impact and produces a fraction of the acoustic volume of a standard drum head, while still providing a realistic rebound and playing feel. Best for: drummers who want to practise on their own acoustic kit at home without disturbing neighbours or housemates. Into Music Store stocks mesh heads from Remo and Evans, with UK next day delivery available.
Both the Remo Silentstroke and Evans dB One are high-quality mesh practice drum heads that significantly reduce kit volume. The Remo Silentstroke is one of the most established mesh heads on the market, known for its consistent feel and wide size availability. The Evans dB One is engineered to Evans' precise manufacturing standards and is available in individual sizes and convenient multi-head packs including snare-specific options. Best for Remo Silentstroke: drummers who want a proven, widely trusted mesh head. Best for Evans dB One: drummers already using Evans heads who want a consistent feel across their full kit. Both are available at Into Music Store with UK next day delivery available.
RTOM Black Hole snap-on mesh heads are a unique low-volume solution that fits directly over your existing drum heads without removing them. They require no tools and no re-tuning, making them one of the fastest and most reversible ways to convert an acoustic kit for quiet practice. Best for: drummers who want to switch quickly between full-volume and low-volume playing, or those who do not want to permanently change their drum head setup. Available in sizes from 8" to 22" at Into Music Store, with UK next day delivery available.
Low-volume cymbals such as the Zildjian L80 range are designed to look, feel, and respond like standard cymbals but produce up to 80% less volume. They achieve this through a perforated or specially engineered bell and bow design that reduces air displacement on impact. Standard cymbals produce their full acoustic volume and are not suitable for quiet home practice. Best for low-volume cymbals: drummers who want a realistic cymbal feel during quiet practice without switching to an electronic kit. Into Music Store stocks Zildjian L80 and Meinl Practice HCS cymbals, with UK next day delivery available.

Yes - combining mesh practice drum heads with low-volume cymbals is the most effective way to convert a full acoustic kit for quiet home practice. Mesh heads reduce drum volume by up to 80%, and low-volume cymbals such as the Zildjian L80 range reduce cymbal volume by a similar amount, resulting in a complete kit that is significantly quieter than a standard acoustic setup while still providing a realistic playing feel. Best for: drummers who want to practise at home on their own kit without the cost of a full electronic drum kit. Our team at Into Music Store can advise on the best combination for your specific kit - call 01507 526517 or visit our Horncastle showroom.
