It was these cymbals, crafted by Avedis Zildjian III in the mid-20th century that helped compose the beat of an era that changed music forever. These unique sounds were instrumental in driving music into a period that not only shaped popular culture, but transformed the way we hear music. Zildjian ‘A Avedis’ cymbals are a vintage recreation of that timeless sound and feel.
