Avedis The First was an alchemist in Constantinople in the seventeenth century. His attempts to create gold by combining bass metals led instead to a copper, tin and silver alloy with unique sound qualities, which created cymbals of extraordinary clarity and power. As his reputation grew, he was given the name "Zildjian", Armenian for "Cymbalmaker"



Today Zildjian cymbals are the choice of such artistes as Travis Barker Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Smith, Keith Carlock, Dennis Chambers, Kenny Aronoff, Louis Bellson, Tony Royster Jnr, Carter Beauford, Gerald Heyward, Taylor Hawkins, Dave Grohl, and Jimmy Chamberlain.
