The Zildjian I Series hi-hat cymbals have a bright, classic hi-hat sound that is useful in any musical application. Made from sheet bronze and fully lathed and hammered at the Zildjian factory in the USA, these hi-hats feature a medium-thin top and medium bottom. This combination creates a sensitive response and bright, well-defined “chick” when closed with the pedal. With modern sizes and lighter weights for a washy, emotive sound, Newell's Music recommends I Series cymbals to beginners and students who want to hone in on their own individual style.
