Thin B8 Crash with a Traditional Finish

Zildjian’s I Family of cymbals beckons drummers to explore new Zildjian sizes and designs without breaking the bank. The 14-inch Zildjian I Crash gives you high output and expression thanks to its thin-weight B8 bronze construction. Small-bore hammering across the entire face of the cymbal, as well as a fully lathed playing surface, lends the 14-inch Zildjian I Crash a mature wash and glassy response that can really stand out in a mix without overtaking it. A medium-sheen, traditional finish gives this cymbal a look that will be right at home among the rest of your Zildjian collection.

Zildjian I Series: an overview

Zildjian’s intrepid I Series cymbals are thinly crafted from bold, cutting B8 bronze and treated to extensive small, round hammering to unlock the rich musical character within. Fully lathed surfaces give each cymbal in the line a glassy response, while thin weights and slim profiles provide maturity and expression that can normally be lacking in this price range. If you’re a drummer who’s looking to round out a cymbal collection or branch out into trash crashes and mastersound hi-hats, the Zildjian I Family of cymbals comes highly recommended by drummers at Sweetwater.

Inspiration at every turn

The “I” in “I Series” comes from ilham, the Turkish word for inspiration. We feel this is a fitting name, not only for the sonic variety to be found in this cymbal series, but also for the value it offers in its price point.

Zildjian I Series 14-inch Crash Cymbal Features:

  • 14-inch crash from the I Family of cymbals
  • Made from bold, cutting B8 bronze (92% copper, 8% tin)
  • Thin weight maximizes expression
  • Precise, small-bore round hammering unlocks the musical character within
  • Fully lathed surface provides a glassy response
  • Eye-catching traditional finish

Perfect affordable option
Exactly what I was hoping for with a crash cymbal. Super loud and clear sound, looks beautiful, and feels very sturdy. Definitely not the most amazing sound in the world, but you can't beat it for the price.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or Planet Z pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
