Zildjian

This limited edition Zildjian 400th Anniversary design celebrates the origin of the secret Zildjian alloy. In 1618, Avedis I, an Armenian alchemist living in Constantinople, discovered a secret process for treating alloys and applied it to the art of making cymbals of extraordinary clarity and sustain. This proprietary mix of copper, tin and silver is still used in Zildjian cymbals today. The alchemy symbols used in the design represent each of the metals in this secret alloy, arranged in the shape of a cymbal.

The Zildjian Limited Edition 400th Anniversary bundle includes 4 pairs of 5A drumsticks, each celebrating a unique moment in the long and storied history of the world's most recognizable name in percussion. From the first strike of the anvil at the Sultan's palace to the 16th generation of Zildjian family members today, this collection pays homage to 400 years of innovation. Included in the bundle is a unique drummer's towel only available as part of this limited edition offering.
