A Different Drummer: The Zildjian Legacy
All About Jazz’s Karl Ackermann writes, “They are the oldest family-owned business in the world, recognized globally by musicians from every genre. The Avedis Zildjian Company—known simply as Zildjian —traces its history to the ancient cymbals of the Middle East and Asia.”
“During W.W.II there was the uncertainty of whether Avedis's sons would even return from the war. Consequently, Avedis wrote down the 'secret alloy formula' for the very first time and kept the document in the company safe. When Armand safely returned home, his father tore up the document.”
—Cady Zildjian
