Generations November 2009 marks the 100th Anniversary of Avedis immigrating to America. As a twenty year old entering Ellis Island in New York, our grandfather had no idea that he would someday reconnect with his cymbal making past. But, eighteen years later, his Uncle Aram appealed to him to return to Istanbul to assume his birthright of carrying on the family business. Understandably, Avedis did not want to return to his native Istanbul having already become an American citizen, serving in the U.S. Army and starting a family. So, Avedis convinced his uncle Aram to relocate the Zildjian family business to the U.S. It was September of 1929, one month before the beginning of the Great Depression, that the Zildjian Company was incorporated in Quincy, Massachusetts. Already an owner of a successful candy making business, Avedis persevered through the Great Depression running two businesses simultaneously.

The fact that we are just now emerging from the worst Recession since the Great Depression has strengthened our appreciation for all the obstacles our grandfather had to overcome. Our grandfather and our father Armand following his lead, never faltered in their commitment to reinvest in the plant. In Armand’s words, it was Avedis who “breathed new life into the Old World art of cymbal making”.

In that same spirit, we continue that same commitment to new technologies which enhance Zildjian’s 385 year old cymbal making tradition. Bringing drummers the instruments they want to move the music forward. In our endeavor to innovate, we oftentimes have and will collaborate with the great drummers of the day.

One of the most successful collaborations occurred in the 1960’s when Louie Bellson came up with the New Beat hi hats. In this past year, we sadly recognized the passing of Louie, an icon of the drumming community. Louie was a central part of the Zildjian legacy in that he embodied everything that Zildjian stands for, excellence, loyalty, the love of music, the love of drumming, drummers, and the giving back to others. God Bless you Louie.

Thank you.

20” K Light Flat Ride

Our newest offering to the popular K Light line. This thin weight beauty has extreme stick definition and a palatable level of wash. A traditional flat ride sound with warmth, this 20” ride is a great addition to any set-up needing a cymbal that you can go to when the music gets softer.

16” and 18” K EFX

Darker version of the A Custom EFX. Produces a quick, dry, dark and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. Unique laser generated “cut outs” aid in the sudden explosiveness and quick decay. Traditional K finish and thin weight.

22” K Constantinople Thin Ride Overhammered

This new 22” K Constantinople is thin in weight to give it a nice dark pitch and plenty of wash. Additional series of over hammered marks on top of the traditional K Con hammering yields a slightly drier sound with excellent stick definition for marking time. Very controllable that doesn’t get away when playing fast patterns. Great for a small to medium size group setting.

22” K Constantinople Bounce Ride

Designed in conjunction with jazz legend Kenny Washington, this newest edition to the K Constantinople line is medium thin in weight that produces a pitch that can ride over the band and cut through most small to big band settings. It has traditional K Constantinople hammering but with more pronounced lathe/tonal grooves that produce plenty of sustain and wash. Has unique series of 8 “cluster” over hammered marks on top that are visually distinct and give it just enough trash and ‘dirt’. You’ll dig this one.

14” and 20” A Custom EFX

This special effects crash cymbal has a unique set of laser generated “cut outs” that allow it to produce a quick, dry and trashy sound used for accenting and punctuating. The brilliant finish makes this “must have” shimmer like any A Custom.

Large size and thin weight of the 20” allow for a loud, quick and explosive response. Paper thin weight and small size on the 14” provides the option to be played alone or stacked.

13” & 15” Oriental China "Trash"

Authentic “trashy” Chinese sounding cymbal that is very fast and explosive with rapid decay. These two odd sizes are in addition to the 12” through 20” that we currently offer. Both have proprietary hammering and come in a brilliant finish.

8” & 10” ZXT Trashformer

These paper thin splash cymbals may be played as they are for airy splash effects. Or they can be stacked on top of or under any other cymbal to provide an additional layer of white noise. They are a super versatile way to expand your sound and trashform your current cymbal set-up.

22” ZHT Ride

This medium heavy weight ride provides excellent wash and a very clear ping. A monster ride that is particularly well suited for Rock. in the air - we the smell of fresh metal Ahhhh!

15” ZHT Mastersound HiHats

The ZHT line with its 12% Tin/88% copper alloy, has established itself as a serious performer while providing excellent value. The top of the new 15” Mastersound model is a medium weight cymbal that provides plenty of volume while the bottom is a heavy weight with the rippled Mastersound edge feature for loads of presence and foot chick. Coupled together, they provide a very clean and powerful set of HiHats.

1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 1990s 2000s Ginger Baker Cream

Ginger’s contribution to drumming cannot be overstated. His solid jazz background and use of African tribal rhythms were a major component of “Cream’s” unique sound. With a style like no other, Ginger’s tom tom work and use of multiple cymbal colors were truly groundbreaking for that period. Ginger still has many of the cymbals he bought during his first visit to the Zildjian Factory in the 1960s.

Sib Hashian Boston

As the driving beat for one of Classic Rock’s staple bands, “Boston”, Sib Hashian had a sound all his own. The shimmering sounds of his Avedis Zildjians (which he still uses today) cut through the wall of guitars, but blended perfectly with Brad Delp’s sublime vocals. Check out his Quick Beat Hi Hats on “Don’t Look Back”.

Throughout the decades, Jazz continues to be its own organic species evolving daily beyond the realms of the past. The new young lions keep building on what their mentors laid down before them, paying homage to the days that were and those yet to come. But one thing continues as a constant – the cymbals they use to provide the cushion of sound that the rest of the band rides on.

set-ups that defined a decade

1950s 1960s 1970s 1990s 1990s 2000s Max Roach

Max Roach’s use of A. Zildjians in the 1950s reflected the new sound he helped pioneer called “Bebop.” Max’s hard bopping beat was propelled by his 20” A Zildjian Medium Ride as well as the incorporation of other cymbals for varied ride patterns, sounds and tonal colors.

14” A Hi-Hat (Top, Med. Thin) 13” A Hi-Hat (Bottom, Med.) 18” A Fast Ride (Thin) 17” A Sizzle 20” A Ride (Medium)

Louie Bellson

Louie’s classic set-up of A. Zildjians remained consistent throughout his lifetime. Though he would occasionally change his ride or a crash here or there, he is forever linked to the classic “A Zildjian sound.” His experimentation with a heavy bottom hi hat and medium top hi hat, led to the development of Zildjian’s legendary New Beat Hi Hats, which are still considered by many as the industry standard.

Buddy Rich

A big part of Buddy’s signature sound was the ‘shimmer’ of his A. Zildjians. He relied on a 20” A Medium Ride to drive the band (later a 21” Rock Ride) and 18” A Thin Crashes to provide the explosive accents associated with Big Band music, though Buddy could play any style. To this day, whether intentional or not, Buddy’s kit configuration of one rack tom and two floor toms, as well as his classic cymbal set-up, remains one of the most emulated in drumming history.

14” A New Beat HiHat 18” A Crash (Thin) 8” A Splash 20” A Ride Light (Medium Thin) 18” A Crash (Thin)

Elvin Jones

Elvin’s sound will forever be identified as the essence of the “K Zildjian” sound. So it was only natural to enlist his expertise when we developed the K Constantinople line relaunched in 1998. His touch and his tone were the perfect complement to the organic sounds of K Constantinople cymbals.

14” K HiHats 20” K Constantinople Medium Ride 20” K Ride 20” K Constantinople Light Ride

Steve Smith

Vital Information

Few drummers can re-invent themselves as Steve Smith has. Exploding onto the scene in the late 70s with “Journey”, one of the most successful rocks bands in history, Steve is a force in drumming. From A Rock Crashes in Journey, to Ks and As with Vital Information, Steve and Zildjian can do it all.

Pat Metheny Group

As a student at Berklee College of Music it was clear Antonio Sanchez was destined for big things.

With the Pat Metheny Group and three Grammy Awards later, Antonio has more than made his mark on the jazz scene. His cymbal set-up has a variety of musical colors for every situation.

set-ups that defined a decade

Hal Blaine’s discography reads like a “who’s who” of the 1960s and 1970s L.A. music scene, including 40 #1 and 150 Top 10 hit singles.

The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, The Monkees, The Mama’s & The Papa’s, The Fifth Dimension, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds and the list goes on…

Hal used the same Avedis Zildjians for all of his recordings, a testimony to their versatility.

Rick’s deep groove and ever-tasteful drumming can be heard on classic recordings by Carly Simon, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Steely Dan, Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne and Boz Scaggs and so many others. His Hi Hat and Ride sound on Steely Dan’s “Peg” is a great illustration of the versatility of Avedis Zildjians.

Simon Phillips

Simon was one of the most in-demand drummers in London during the 1980s, playing with everyone from Jeff Beck, to Peter Gabriel, to Mick Jagger and The Who. Although his cymbals have varied slightly throughout the years, his set-up from the 1980s is very similar to what he plays today.

In 1990 Vinnie helped Zildjian design the A Customs, one of our most popular lines, and although he spent most of the decade working with “Sting”, he recorded with a multitude of artists as well, and released his solo record in 1994. Vinnie continues to be a major force, recording with a diverse list of musical giants.
