I'm a truck driver.Years ago,I picked up a load of 40,000 lbs of copper ingots at the port of Baltimore.It pleased me a great deal to bring them to this factory,to know what they would be made into.
@@cattnipp Are you suggesting that they don't get copper in those quantities? I've been driving 25 years. Hauled lots of different things over the years. That one was a little more meaningful.
@@cattnipp Nevermind. Of course not. Manifests don't belong to the driver. Not really caring about proving my little anecdote anyway.
I learned more in the last 18 minutes than I ever would have guessed. I feel so much more informed. Great to see a family company take so much pride in their work and products! Thanks!
I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am that Emily Zildjian is learning the business from the ground up ... on the factory floor. That grounding in understanding the specifics of the processes needed to make great instruments, and the demands placed on the workers to facilitate those processes will serve her well when she takes the reigns in hand.
Much respect to her.
Ohm51 and she’s hooooooootttt!!!!!!!!
I met Emilys husband at a bar in Boston. He could be the twin brother of Zack Galifianakis. I know this because I met him and asked him if he was infact Zack, he chuckled and said no. I noticed his jacket which had the Zildjian symbol and asked if he played the drums, I do play and have always used Zildjian and he says nope, I am married to an heir of The Zildjian family. Now chuckle I did, but after watching this and learning they started in Quincy and are still in Ma, I think he is genuine!!!
Very honorable !!! Great to see that type of enthusiasm and motivation. So cool Emily !!!!!
I own a 1980s classic Ludwig Blue Oyster Pearl drum set. I been playing Ludwig drums and playing Zildjian cymbals since 1960. I will play both Ludwig and Zildjian the rest of my life.
Loving it! Go Girls!!!! I love your cymbals. I have a bout 8 K's so much fun. Been playing Zildjian 32+ years. Thanks to your grandfather, Father and you girls.
Great cymbals, it's totally true that they get better with time. I also love Sabian and Paiste, they're all great companies. There is no competition between them, it's just the preference of sound
It's an amazing thing, not many companies can say, "We are soon coming up on are 400th Anniversary! That's an accomplishment! Love the history in this company, I'm sure they are very humbled and honored to serve the need of what they create!
What a beautiful story! My favorite cymbals and I never imagined I would live so close to one of the Zildjian factories and have not yet toured it! Will do it this year!
Wonderful History and story. Blessings to the Zildjian family.
Excellent documentary.. WOW
Very knowledgeable ladies.. One can "see" the pride and commitment listening to these ladies' walk us through their production line.. Kudos
so proud of these women. i've been playing zildjians since i was 15. over four decades. so cool that company is headed by women.
I can remember when I was a little kid that Zildjian was the best back then and now today they still are. Beautiful sound and the best looking . Of course just my opinion and many others too.
Very proud to be a Zildjian artist myself.
My favorite part was all the non-scripted totally off-the-cuff commentary :D
Yes! Lol @ 17:26. All very natural and totally convincing right?
Like robots
Hahahahaha I was thinking the same thing. Big PR move
I love these cymbals. Played them for 40 years.
I have playing drums since I was four yrs old I would NEVER use any other cymbal period ! I was there in 1978 bought your seconds because that was all I could afford at time they were still great! I grew up in Sherborn Ma.
I grew up playing Zildjian. I know no other no other symbol that brings me pure joy to play. Zildjian is the only sound I want to hear on a drum set. it’s clean. It’s exciting it’s crisp. It’s true and it is music to my ears.
needless to say those girls aren't ever changing their maiden names
for sure...lol
Can you blame them...lol..
Why would they.
Yeah I wanna fuck them change zyldian to ajax
I'm sure their husbands are wanting to take their wives name. Lol
I remember going to the Norwell building as a kid. My mothers ex husband had worked there for years. I got the whole walk around. Saw the entire place. I played on a set of drums that who knows what big name drummers played. Was great.
All I've ever played is your cymbals. Love them. Best sound and notes for what I want to accomplish when playing. Congratulations to your workers and team!
I love your cymbals so much!! When I was a teenager I could never afford them and I wanted them so badly!! Now as an adult I have a few and consider them a real blessing! It would sure be nice to have more!! Love them!!
My dad played Zildjian so I play Zildjian. Great video. I grew up 15 miles away and never went to the factory. I can't believe I let that opportunity slip by!
Thank you for making the best cymbals around on zildjian
I remember my first set of new Zildjians in the early 80's. A 20" K Custom ride, 18" Medium crash, & 15" Quick Beat Hi-Hats. Great company, great cymbals!
A very inspiring story. Thank you for sharing. Fantastic quality cymbals, by the way. 👍
Great story!
Beautiful cymbals in sound and appearance.
Beautiful management for years to come!
Great job ladies!
I got a box of A Customs for Christmas this year, and it makes one wonder, do they sound as beautiful as they look or do they look as beautiful as they sound? Answer: YES. I also have an 18” Platinum Coated Rock Crash and 6” K Custom Hybrid Splash. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a heavenly combo!!!!!!!
So my setup is:
6” Splash (K Custom Hybrid)
14” Hi Hats
16” Crash
18” Crash
18” Crash (Platinum)
20” Medium Ride
God bless the people at Zildjian!!!!! I got my dream cymbal setup, and I’m not even a sponsored artist!!!!!!!!
I met Armand at the 84 PASIC. He was so charming, I was thrilled that he took the time to talk to me!
The absolute greatest cymbals ever made. NO one can touch their quality and sound. IMO. I've played them for 50 years.
I remember walking by the old Zildjian factory when they were located in Wollaston (Quincy, Ma.), and you would hear them tapping on their cymbals day in and day out. A very light sound like they were delicately tone testing them.
what a name and legacy , that must be an unbelievable feeling to say we make the best and biggest variety of cymbals in the world and know its true.
1623 and still in business producing the worled's best. Amazing and fascinating.
That's really a very lovely photo at 4:20 I met Armand in 1994, what an honour that was, he was genuinely a brilliant person. An amazing legacy not only in cymbal making but in invention and also in shaping the terms we now commonly use to describe types of cymbals. What a history! I tell my students that Zildjian have been around since 1623 and they literally cannot believe it!! I will never love any other cymbal more than my Zildjian K series set I have collected since the 1980s.
WoW! That was awesome! I have been playing Zildjian cymbals since 1972! Still have my Rock 21 ride cymbal and my K crashes!
too bad for so many haters of the #1 cymbal maker in the world!
I have done so many compare/contrasts between Zildjian and Sabian, and Zildjian comes out on top every time! They look more beautiful to me, plus, I personally think Zildjian sounds better, Yes, Zildjian may be more expensive, but you do get a quality instrument. Every cymbal on my kit is a Zildjian, and I am very satisfied with their product!
Edward Brown lo
Edward Brown. Ed Sabian cymbals are made by a Zildjian family member. look into it .
That makes us brothers, because I have Zildjian cymbals on my kit as well. I even have a Platinum coated cymbal!!
Bought my first Zildjian cymbal in 1966..it was a 22" ride payed 95.00 for it ...well my dad did..it blew him away 95.00 was a lot of money then..i bought a 22" ping ride in 06 for 380.00
.i know how my dad felt ..but it was worth it..Zildjian is the only cymbals I'll buy..and i have many.probaly about 3,500 worth..they are worth more than my Ludwig drums..yahooo...play on ..
I had a ping ride too. Never heard a more pleasing ride cymbal up close.
you get what you pay for and then some. I would love to buy one specifically built by a Zildgjian. and be signed in the lazer process .
That 95 is the equivalent to over 750 bucks now. That was a big chunk of change back then.
4:42 with the platinum cymbals, ahhhh makes me feel cool to have a platinum new beat
The Zildjian factory is on my bucket list ..
6 piece black Tama kit with Zildjians ONLY...bought 35 years ago, handed it down to my daughter (who also plays) & to the grandkids now. Having a BACK injury doesn’t help with ‘future’ playing BUT it NEVER leaves the blood!
Zildjian is life! Best cymbals, best sound an best quality on the world! Thanks for great, sweet and deep sound! God bless you and your business! Best regards from Georgia!
I love the sweet sounds of the Zildjan 14" Newbeat Hi hat cymbals, nothing else matches that great, crisp sound.....
I still cherish the 70s vintage 14" new beats i purchased back in 1972. You are correct that nothing else comes close to them.
I have a pair. best Hi Hats I've ever used
I love that this company is not only a family run business but its also run by women. As if I needed another reason to love their cymbals...
Right!? got a new A Custom Crash...hmmm...I wonder who lathed it?
+BBT609 a machine¡¡¡¡¡
Well, that's sexist. ;)
You sexist dog!
That's funny, because the way they explained how they got the secret knowledge at 6:34 in the video, you can decipher that what actually happened was that the father was threatened by the two women to give up the recipe or become "one with the symbols" if you get what they mean.
Thank You for the Tour!!!
Love the cymbals and the girls!!!😍
Fabulous product by a fabulous company everyone in the world must aspire to Zildjians
The most awesome brand name and logo in the drum world.
I have always been a Zildjian only drummer. Yes, I've tried the others. however "Z" will always be the best. You just have to put the right ones together tone-wise that is pleasant to the ears. Thank you very much!
Sabian and Zildjian are essentially the same company. I can't stand using anything other than Sabian and Zildjian. Meinl cymbals are way to loud, Paistes are super quiet. I like the Artist Relations department at Sabian better than everyone else. Jen is one of the most helpful people in the world and always makes sure i have the right cymbals for touring and recording. I never got that warmth from any other Artist Relations so thats why i stick to Sabians.
Scotty Weißmüller wow 😯 I’ve always found from 58yrs of playing, Zildjian is consistently good as opposed to my experience with Sabian has taught me what a good cymbal is! 🥴😬
@@dibaz1 no harm in that!
@@seanviklund6749 yeah sure kiddo keep practicing in your basement there. When you're a pro you know the suttle differences.
@@seanviklund6749 ohh someone who has a degree in music? Unless you're a Berklee Alumni like me I don't really care
Zildjian needs to bring back the option of brilliant finish for all cymbals!!
James Carter yes!! Damn they were beautiful!
YES!
That was the golden era of Zildjian in my opinion.
danlc95 what era was that?
Wow 😲 great 👍🏾 thank you for the video, now I have idea what is my husband do at is job 🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍
God bless and protect you always ❤️
This is my Disney World...
same brah
I feel with you on that. I was at the Paiste factory last week.
Feel free to come to Switzerland and have a tour.
it is Factory no more handmade no hammer i was istanbul factory still 1600 century
I loved the days when Zildjian was the undisputed champion of cymbals.
Even though I've always been a Paiste player, I've always had great respect and admiration for Zildjian. I've owned many over the years as well.
Today there are a gazillion of small manufacturers and they seem to be copies of one another.
Zildjian/Sabian will always be the original. You one one of those, you have a piece of history.
i have been a drummer for 23ys and i love the zildjian cymbal s ther is nothing like there sound well done debbie
Would You consider making your 80's era Platinum cymbals again ? They were beautiful and sounded great. I believe if you reissued them they would do well in sales.
I've only played Zildjian cymbals with my kit. They are the best.
After a trip to Turkey I decided to buy as few Turkish products as possible. However I preferred to buy Zildjians, and struggled with my conflict of interest. From this video I learned that the Zildjian family is Armenian, and that the factory is now in The USA. I'm so happy - I can now buy their products with a clear concience.
The coddled, well-heeled and sophisticated daughters told a wonderful and interesting account about the history of the Zildjian cymbal and the corporate warehouse and factory. I'd like to take a tour of the factory and also visit the showroom.
Great Documentary! I had no idea this company was ran by these wonderful ladies!
Thank you very much for my first Zildjian ZBT cymbals! great combination with my Pearl Drum kit!
I started out with an 18"crash ride and 13" hi hats (ZBT) and a Pearl Forum set! That was 20 years ago...
Keep up the great work ladies!!!! Ya rock!!!!!
Wow, this is heaven!!!! Love watching these videos. What a place..
I have probably 12k in Zildjian cymbals..... worth every penny for such an outstanding product !
You got that right, zildjian are the best in the world, period!
I got a special private tour on a Friday. Awesome!
That was a beautiful story about a great product thank you for all the history
I must go work there! I love the history! I know ZERO about drums ...but can do all! I’m a displace Automotive Director in Shanghai for 5 years but coming back to USA. You will hear from me soon! Thank you for video... incredible!
It’s crazy to think that a musical instrument company, let alone a cymbal company, has been around for 4 centuries!!!!!!! 400 years!!!!! 401, technically, but I digress!!!! In all seriousness though, Zildjian has always been my favorite cymbal company, and it’s the cymbal that I grew up with!!! I use the A Custom line myself, as well as a platinum-coated crash, a K Custom Hybrid Splash, and a standard 16-inch A Crash!!!! And I think that’s the perfect combination, at least for me!!!!
Love my vintage A Zildjian Medium Ride. It’s at least 30 years old now, and I’ll never remove the fabulous patina. It makes it sound so sweet, but I can always dig into it for an edgy note. Keep it going, ladies!
I have to say my favorite Zildjian sound is the K custom crash. It’s sound is so deep and complex.
I don't see how anyone that has used Zildjian can use anything else...really. I've used all the others and nothing compares to these...they are hands down the best in the world
Zildjian, Bosphorus, İstanbul Agop-Mehmet etc.. all of this brands from the Istanbul, Turkey. Cymbals is a tradition from the Ottoman soldiers band. And the Zildjian family is the one of only person can made the cymbals in Istanbul, Ottoman. The sultans gave him an oppurtunities for made and promote the goods in the europe. After that cymbals became popular around the world. Mozart, Rolling Stones, Mettalica and some of the important faces of the music history, they all used the cymbals. It is a long and good story of the music history. In Turkey we are really proud of this family and brands.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being true to your craft. This video was done very well.
This is fascinating. Thank you.
K Custom Fast Crashes are my favorites. The finish is spectacular and the sound is so nice. Definitely want a matched hybrid K pack in the future...
Thanks for the tour...
Great history lesson! Really touching!
I play Zildjian and Sabians, but Zildjian's were my first love in 1966.
At the end I’m surprised they didn’t include “world peace!”
Love zildjian family❤️❤️❤️
Cary the torch ladies!!!. I've played Paiste, Sabian et al. But NO cymbal compares to a Zildjian. PERIOD. Nothing but yours for me, and I am not a "paid sponsor"! I would feel blessed to work at your facility. I'd gladly send you my curriculum vitae. A drummer with diversity of extensive computer background and artistic value. Located in Albany so an easy move. Any openings for an apprentice?
Cool video. I was getting a chubby seeing all those Zildjian's! I'm a big fan. 6 of my 7 cymbals are Zildjian's.
Absolutely fascinating.. made my day thanks!
I been playing the drums since 1960. I only use Zildjian cymbals for that period. I love the the sound of Zildjian and will not use any other cymbals. I love these cymbals.
The lineage is precious. Great video.
Thank you Zil
Any one drummer can say This company is better than that company. It's about taste and the ear. I've played a couple of kits that had mixes of cymbals of all brands. My Hi-hat crashes and rides are Zildjian, splashes are Debian and one Meihl. Can't wait to upgrade
The absolute best cymbals on earth. I would never play any other !!!!! Beautiful presentation ! Very informative thank you. I'm currently saving for a new 24 inch ride. It's worth the wait. I just hate waiting so long to save up for it !!! Hahaha. 👍
Ginger has always gladly unofficially but publically endorsed Zildjian cymbals.( I personally buy nothing unless used).
beginning in istanbul centuries ago, that your cymbal production has still been kept is really proud. There is written a mark as "zildjian konstantinople" on some cymbals. it's so important to remember your own roots where you came from..
Absolutely fascinating!
Zildjian cymbals are awesome! Just bought a set of K Custom Darks and I love them! One nit: the SKU stickers you use are crap and cleaning adhesive off off brand new cymbals is a particularly nasty kind of buyer's remorse!
I know other manufacturers use zero residue SKU stickers. This is the way to go!
I named my son Zildjian bcoz I really like the cymbal..
I’ve always had Paiste 602 Formula cymbals and I remeber that when testig Zildjian nearly 50 yrs ago, it sounded too dark to me. I have to go testing some new ones and perhaps I feel completely different now. It was a surprise that Zildjian is that an old make.
I think it can be true that they made cymbal since 1600.
Armani peopel were craftsman in middle East they had very high skills or maybe secret formula for making important means like troop gun and .... I think their cymbals had military usage. ( for that kind of music)
Its evident that they only transfered their skills to their family.
I worked in a steel mill for years as am industrial mechanic on almost identical eqipmemt. As a drummer as well this would be up there on my list of places to work.
Damn I've been saying "A Vay Dis" since the 70 s. Very cool vid.
As a drummer and a life long Zildjian player, this was an interesting video. Though I had to chuckle a little, where it wouldn't be too hard to get a job there, if your last name is Zildjian. Also, it'd be interesting to know more about the split between Armand and his brother Robert Zildjian who went on to form the Sabian Cymbal Company.
BM M yes that would be interesting 🤔 probably the usual bs family rivalry. I really want to know about the previous history of the not made in the USA genuine Turkish cymbals!?!?
Been using Zildjian since 1978.......
Had no idea on the history..great vid
The only cymbals I will ever play!! Zildjian for life!!😎
