Zildjian I Family Essentials Plus Cymbal Set – 13" Hi-Hats, 14" Crash, 18" Crash-Ride

The Zildjian I Family Essentials Plus Cymbal Set delivers professional-grade sound and versatility at an accessible price point. This three-piece configuration pairs a responsive 13" hi-hat pair with a punchy 14" crash and a full-bodied 18" crash-ride, giving you the foundation to explore diverse playing styles and sonic textures. Named after ilham—the Turkish word for inspiration—the I Family invites drummers to expand their creative palette with modern cymbal designs that balance expression and projection.

Crafted from B8 bronze (92% copper, 8% tin), each cymbal undergoes precise small-bore hammering and full lathing to achieve a mature, glassy character that cuts through a mix without overwhelming it. The thin weight profile maximizes articulation and responsiveness, making these cymbals ideal for both studio recording and live performance. A traditional medium-sheen finish complements any drum kit aesthetic while showcasing the craftsmanship behind each cymbal.
