The I Family Essentials Pack brings together 14" I Hi-Hats (pair), 18" I Crash Ride, matched in tone for a consistent, bright I Family sound.
Two cymbals, full coverage
Hi-hats keep time, and the 18-inch crash ride handles both ride patterns and crashes, giving a complete basic setup with just two models.
Room to grow
Start with the essentials and add a dedicated crash or ride from the I Family later as your playing develops.
B8 bronze, Traditional finish
Every cymbal is made from B8 bronze (92% copper, 8% tin), hammered and extensively lathed, with a Traditional finish.
The I Family
The I Family takes its name from Ilham, the Turkish word for inspiration. It replaced Zildjian's ZBT series as the entry point to Zildjian bronze, with modern weights and sizes, hammering and extensive lathing.
