About Zildjian
Founded in 1623 in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), Zildjian is the world’s oldest continuously operating cymbal maker. The name "Zildjian" (meaning "son of a cymbalsmith" in Armenian) is synonymous with quality, innovation, and tradition. Originally developed to create powerful, musical sounds for Ottoman military bands, Zildjian cymbals have since become essential for drummers and percussionists across every genre. Their centuries-old casting and hammering techniques help produce cymbals with unmatched complexity and musicality.
About Suspended Cymbals
Suspended cymbals are designed to be mounted with a single strap or on a stand, allowing for full, unchoked resonance. Traditionally used in orchestras for swelling rolls and dramatic crashes, they’re also prized in sound therapy for their evolving, layered sustain and tonal richness.
Stands are not included with this purchase.
