Welcome Zildjian Cymbals to the Musician Madness Family

We’re beyond excited to officially welcome Zildjian to the growing family of brands at Musician Madness. Few names in music carry the legacy, craftsmanship, and global respect that Zildjian does—and we’re proud to now offer their legendary cymbals to drummers of all styles and skill levels.

A Legacy Over 400 Years in the Making

Zildjian isn’t just a cymbal company—it’s the oldest continuously operating family-owned business in the world. Founded in 1623 by Avedis Zildjian in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), the company began with a closely guarded alchemical formula for creating metal alloys with unmatched musical properties. What started as a secret recipe quickly became the foundation for centuries of innovation in percussion.

Over time, the Zildjian family brought this craft to the United States, where the brand became deeply woven into the fabric of modern music. From jazz clubs and concert halls to stadium stages and recording studios, Zildjian cymbals have helped define the sound of countless musical movements.

Cymbals That Shape the Sound of Music

Zildjian is renowned for producing cymbals that cover virtually every genre and playing style. Their lineup includes:

• Crash, Ride, and Hi-Hat Cymbals – Designed for balance, projection, and musicality

• Iconic Series such as A Zildjian, A Custom, K Zildjian, K Custom, S Series, and Z Custom

• Artist-inspired and specialty cymbals crafted for precise tone, feel, and expression

• Electronic and hybrid innovations, including modern e-drum and practice solutions

Whether you’re chasing warm, dark jazz tones, bright and cutting rock sounds, or versatile all-purpose cymbals for studio and live performance, Zildjian offers options trusted by beginners and world-class professionals alike.

Played by Legends. Built for Everyone.

Zildjian cymbals have been the choice of some of the most influential drummers in history—and continue to inspire today’s next generation. Their commitment to consistency, durability, and musical expression is why Zildjian remains the gold standard after more than four centuries.
