His name may have appeared in CD/LP/etc. booklets more than almost any other. Probably one of the top three at least.
Appropriate bumper sticker: "My Other Ride Is A Zildjian"

Ludwig Drums and Zildjian cymbals
In the credits of every classic KISS album, so probably the first album credits I ever read.
R.I.P. Mr. Zildjian.

Ah, so Robert started Sabian (finally read his obit).
My Sabian flat bell ride (which the previous owner had customized with rivets) which i bought used, second hand, is the best sounding ride cymbal i've ever heard! R.I.P. Robert Z.

Yeah, the Zildjian family have actually been making cymbals for centuries, and there was a major rift in the family that led to Robert going off and starting Sabian.Originally Posted by syncopatico
Yeah, and I tend to like the Sabians better than Zildjians nowadays. Kudos and RIP to the man.

Yeah, i am well familiar with the Zildjian name: Armand, Avedis... (just not Robert's until i read he was Sabian's founder).
Which i should have known, being that as i wrote, my Sabian flatbell ride (customized with rivets, one is missing) is the best sounding ride cymbal i've ever heard. Clear and distinct as a bell.
