Introduction: 1982

Background: This series was succeeded by the Amir II
Alloy: B8 (Also known as "Sheet Bronze" or "non-cast" in Zildjian's literature.)
Quality: Mid-Priced / Semi-Professional
Zildjian's Description: "The Amir is a non-cast, professional cymbal with the more metallic sound preferred by some drummers. Amir cymbals are the result of Zildjian Sound Lab technology and research into special alloys. Each one projects a clear, bright, controlled sound with fast decay for use on stage or in the studio. The focused energy of Amir cymbals delivers a lightning-fast attack with contoured overtones that decay quickly and smoothly for optimum miking. Amirs are made to Zildjian's exacting standards and are far more durable than other non-cast cymbals."

16” Zildjian Impulse Crash cymbal in excellent shape. The Impulse (and Amir) line of cymbals were aimed at rock and metal players.
