The Planet Z Pro Pack is a solid starting point for new drummers who want real Zildjian cymbals on their kit. You get a pair of 14-inch hi-hats and an 18-inch crash/ride, all made in the USA from a nickel-silver alloy. The hi-hats deliver a clean, crisp attack with good stick and pedal response, while the 18-inch crash/ride handles both ride patterns and crashes capably.

These cymbals are bright and cutting with focused tone, which helps them project in rehearsal rooms and school band settings. They are a meaningful step up from the stock cymbals that come with most starter kits. If you are building your first real cymbal setup on a budget, the Planet Z Pro Pack gets you off to a great start.
