Few instrument makers can claim four hundred years of history, but Zildjian can: the company began in Constantinople in 1623 and remains family-run to this day, now based in Norwell, Massachusetts. Its A and K families defined what drummers expect a cymbal to sound like, and its artist roster spans jazz royalty like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams through to today's stadium players.
