collapse expand iconDescription

From taking its name from Ilham, the Turkish word for inspiration, the I Series is a collection of expressive sounds designed to bring your playing to the next level. This 20" crash/ride cymbal features a thin weight and rounded hammering that unlocks a wide range of tones from crashing accents to riding grooves. Made from B8 bronze for a cutting attack and glassy wash, the I Series Crash Ride helps you explore new sonic territory and develop your own unique voice.

Thin, Responsive Bronze Delivers a Distinctive Voice

Forged from B8 bronze (92% copper, 8% tin), the I Series Crash Ride cymbal has a thin weight and rounded hammering that produces a crisp, complex tone with a quick decay. Its thin profile and broad lathing also contribute to a glassy wash and expressive crash sound. Paired with its large 20" size, this versatile cymbal serves as a bold accent in any style from rock to jazz.

Riding Grooves and Crashing Accents in One Cymbal

While crash/rides typically excel at one function over the other, the I Series Crash Ride cymbal delivers an balanced performance for both riding and crashing applications. Its medium-thin weight and rounded hammering provide stick definition and a musical wash that rides smoothly. The cymbal also opens up with an explosive crash sound, unleashing a roar that cuts through the mix. This dual-purpose design gives you more tonal range from a single cymbal on your kit.

Modern, Inspiring Sounds to Fuel Your Creativity

Part of Zildjian's I Family of cymbals, the Crash Ride cymbal features modern weights and sizes, hammering, and lathing tailored for contemporary music styles. The I Series provides a palette of inspiring sounds to spark your creativity, allowing you to develop a unique voice behind the kit. Add this innovative 20" crash/ride to your setup and explore new sonic possibilities with Zildjian.
