About Zildjian - 400 Years of Cymbal Heritage
Zildjian were founded in Constantinople in 1623 by Avedis Zildjian, an alchemist who discovered a secret alloy that could be hammered into a cymbal capable of producing a musical sound without shattering. That secret alloy - a proprietary blend of copper, tin, and trace elements - remains the foundation of every Zildjian cymbal made today. Used by John Bonham, Ringo Starr, Travis Barker, Dave Grohl, and virtually every major drummer in popular music history, Zildjian are the most recorded cymbal brand in the world.
