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.”
