Overview

Complete cymbal pack for students and beginners, with thinner weights for extra expressiveness

When looking for your first set of cymbals, it can be difficult to find exciting sounds without breaking the bank—that’s why Musician’s Friend offers this Zildjian I Series Essentials Plus cymbal pack. This pack includes the essential trio that a drummer needs to get started, including 13” hi-hats, a 14” crash and an 18” crash/ride. It’s an excellent choice when you want name-brand cymbals on a budget.

The central trio a new drummer needs

Whether you’re replacing stock cymbals or kitting out a new drum set, this pack includes the three main cymbals you need to get started right. The 14” crash is splashy with a quick decay. The 18” crash/ride has stick definition on the bow and a darker, washier crash sound along the edge. And the 13” hi-hats have lightning-fast response, perfect for practicing new sticking patterns.

Zildjian’s thinnest entry-level cymbal line

Many professional drummers prefer thin cymbals for complex tone and quicker response. Thinner cymbals vibrate more freely, creating washier, trashier, more evocative soundscapes. With a name taken from Ilham, the Turkish word for inspiration, the I Series cymbals introduce those benefits into a line of budget cymbals. From the exciting accent cymbals to the washy, versatile rides, this thin cymbal line is designed to help you find your signature sound.

World-renowned craftsmanship that students can afford

Even though the I Series comes at a price geared toward first-time drummers and students, these cymbals are 100% authentic Zildjian in every aspect. They’re made with sheet bronze at the same USA factory as professional Zildjian lines like K and A Custom. They’re made with time-honored hammering and lathing techniques, executed by precision machinery. When you buy from the I Series, you are joining a cymbal-making legacy that stretches back centuries.

The first step in finding your sound

As a student-focused line, the I Series is crafted with your future in mind. That’s why the series focuses on versatile sounds and flashy effects, giving players a wide range of textures to experiment with and find their personal style. These entry-level cymbals will give you the tools to grow as a drummer—the rest is up to you.
