Zildjian I 14" Hi-Hat Cymbals, Pair
The I 14" hi-hat is a pair of hi-hat cymbals with a bright, classic sound and a well-defined chick. It is for the drummer who has outgrown a first set of cymbals and wants a reliable, versatile hi-hat without jumping straight to the top of the range.
What sets it apart
- Medium thin top over a medium bottom
- Bright, well-defined chick
- Definition rated 8 out of 10 by Zildjian
- Standard 14" size
The I family, in brief
The name of the I family comes from "Ilham", which means inspiration in Turkish. Zildjian presents it as the line for going beyond the basics: contemporary weights and sizes, hammered and heavily lathed, all in the service of expressive sounds.
A hi-hat that does it all
The medium thin top speaks easily under the stick; the slightly heavier medium bottom supports it and gives a clean chick with the foot. With brightness rated 8 and sustain 7, the sound stays present when open without taking over.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Zildjian's I family?
- A family of cymbals named after "Ilham", Turkish for inspiration. Zildjian aims it at drummers who want to go beyond basic cymbals.
- What size are hi-hat cymbals?
- 14" is the standard size, like this pair. Zildjian also makes the I hi-hat in 13", a little livelier and more compact.
- How high should the hi-hat be?
- High enough for the stick to clear the snare without touching it, low enough to play without raising your shoulder. Set the stand's rod first, then the gap between the cymbals.
