As thin as Zildjian dares to go — and it sounds like it.

About Zildjian

Zildjian's story stretches from the court of the Ottoman Empire to the modern touring stage: founded in Constantinople in 1623, the family firm has been making cymbals for 400 years and counting. Generations of drummers — from big-band legends to metal and hip-hop players — have built their sound on Zildjian bronze, and every cymbal is still crafted in Norwell, Massachusetts.
