Zildjian Promo Videos from 1990
March 7, 2008 in Artists, Gear, Interviews, Videos by Dave Kropf
I dug up these old school (as in 18 years old!) Zildjian promo videos. Of special note is Weckl’s “loyalty” to Zildjian (he’s now a Sabian endorsee) and his massive rock perm-mullet! We want muscle shirt! We want muscle shirt!!
These videos are a little bit hokey, but they are informative. Also keep an eye out for Omar Hakim, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tommy Aldridge, Louis Bellson, Tony Williams, and more!

Continuing on the cymbal video love, here are few videos covering Zildjian history and its factory. Most surprising fact: it's pronounced "AHH-veh-dis," not "ahh-VEE-dis." My brain hurts!

On Tuesday, January 29th, 2008, Rodney Green visited the Zildjian Factory at the invitation of John DeChristopher, Zildjian's Vice President, Artist Relations & Event Marketing Worldwide, and worked with Paul Francis, Zildjian's Research & Design/Quality Manager, to ultimately select his Zildjian cymbal set up, consisting of a 22" K Custom Dry Complex Prototype Ride, a 20" K Prototype Ride and HiHats comprised of a 14" K Constantinople Top HiHat and 14" A Zildjian New ...

Ever seen a cymbal shaped like a samurai helmet? Or a shield? Or a hand? MusicRadar hadn't - until we met British cymbal-maker Matt Nolan at Musikmesse 2009.
Nolan gave us a quick interview about the methods behind his cymbalsmithery, and even played them for us, too.
As Rhyhtm magazine's Chris Barnes says: "They sound absolutely nuts". But in a good way...

READ MOREIn their never-ceasing effort to build up their drumstick line, Zildjian has announced three new artist series sticks: Ronald Bruner Jr (Stanley Clarke), John Blackwell (Justin Timberlake), and Ronnie Vannucci (The Killers). These three names will undoubtably boost Zildjian's street cred for their sticks, not that they needed it. What I think it interesting is the fact that Bruner, who endorses Sabian, uses Zildjian drumsticks. Just seems like an interesting wrinkle in the situation. I ...
READ MOREInteresting story on Zildjian.com about this year's Grammy's. They list all the acts that were nominated whose drummers play Zildjian cymbals. Pretty big list. It's interesting to see how many bands have drummers that use Zildjian. A couple years ago, I saw a story about how most of the Grammy winners have drummers who use Paiste. I wonder if the overall trend is going back to Zildjian or if it's just a coincidence. Your thoughts?
