2-piece B8 Cymbal Set: 18″ Crash, 17″ Trash Crash
Zildjian’s I Family of thin-weight B8 cymbals beckons drummers to explore new Zildjian sizes and designs without breaking the bank. The Expression Pack 2’s 18″ I Crash features small-bore hammering and a fully lathed playing surface to deliver a mature, glassy response that excels for downbeats and standard crash applications. Also included in this pack is the perforated 17″ I Trash Crash, which delivers a fast white-noise blast of sound that’s great for punctuating fills and punching musical accents. A coordinating medium-sheen traditional finish gives the I Series Expression Pack 2 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.
Inspirational 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.
