About Zildjian

Zildjian is the oldest name in cymbals and one of the oldest family businesses on earth, founded in Constantinople in 1623 when alchemist Avedis Zildjian discovered a secret alloy treatment that made bronze sing without shattering. Four centuries later the company crafts its cymbals in Norwell, Massachusetts, and the family secret is still passed down through the generations. From bebop pioneers to modern arena rock, more recorded music has been made on Zildjian than on any other cymbal.
