The Zildjian I Series Expression cymbal set includes a lightning-fast 10” splash and an eccentric 14” trash crash that can double as a hi-hat top. Made at the Zildjian factory in the USA, these cymbals add new dimensions of sound to any kit. The splash is extra-bright with a clean cut. The trash crash, on the other hand, is all aggression and complexity. Together, they’re an easy choice for players who want to add multiple new effects with one affordable Guitar Center purchase.

Two Exciting Effects, One Affordable Package
Drummers have countless options for affordable hi-hats, rides and crashes, but high prices put many of the most exciting effects cymbals out of reach. With this I Series Expressions pack, Zildjian is changing that formula by offering two effects cymbals at one low price. The thin 10” splash has a super-fast response that’s bright and cutting. The quick decay gets the song back into the groove without lingering noise. The 14” trash crash features heavy hammering in an experimental pattern, making a complex, trashy sound when struck on a stand. It’s also an intriguing option for a hi-hat top.
Thinner Design for Evocative, Inspiring Sounds
Taken from Ilham, the Turkish word for inspiration, the Zildjian I Series is designed to inspire new players and students with more expressive sounds. Zildjian accomplishes this change by using thinner weights than in previous entry-level series. That means these cymbals are washier and more emotive, giving players new dimensions to explore while searching for their personal style.
Zildjian Craftsmanship at an Affordable Price
While the price makes the I Series accessible to first-time drummers, these cymbals are still made in the USA at the same factory as legendary K and A Zildjian lines, using many of the same techniques passed down for hundreds of years. The process starts with B8 sheet bronze, which is precision-hammered by machine and lathed fully from bell to edge. The I Series also includes models with experimental touches from pro-level lines, like sound holes and extra hammering.
Modern Series With Classic Looks
When it comes off the line, each cymbal in the I Series is polished to a bright finish—brilliant enough to make an impression without being too reflective. It’s then stamped with the “i” logo, which is modeled on the cursive “i” in the Zildjian logo known all over the world. These touches, along with the official stamp along the edge, confirm that these affordable cymbals are authentic Zildjian, through and through.
