Loads of Zildjian Players Play a Part in Grammy’s
February 11, 2009 in Events, Gear, News, Randomness by Carter
Interesting 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?
One thing about the list… Zildjian incorrectly listed JJ Johnson as the drummer for John Mayer’s track “Say.” The liner notes for the album (“Continuum”) credit Steve Jordan with drums on that track (and the whole album).

READ MOREIf you were one of the lucky ones who witnessed Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood perform 15 Step with the USC Marching Band at this year's Grammy Awards, you witnessed sheer music genius. It was undoubtedly one of the boldest and most riveting performances I've seen in quite a while. I found a Youtube video documenting a bit of the preparation, rehearsal, and backstage goings-on that went into this wonderful performance. It's pretty interesting. ...
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 ...
