		Avedis Zildjian I (the first) was an alchemist in the city of Constantinople in the seventeenth century.
		Zildjian’s reputation for exceeding customer expectations and needs can be attributed to both its sharp focus on continuous quality improvement and innovation, and its emphasis on the family character and rich tradition of the business.
		Zildjian’s enduring values—leadership, commitment to quality and craftsmanship, passion for music and fun, music education, and a strong family heritage and culture—have guided the company in carrying out its vision over the years.

		Zildjian provides yearly funding for percussion scholarships at these schools, and in some cases Zildjian has fully endowed scholarships.
		Born into the Zildjian family with a 350 year-old tradition of cymbal craftsmanship, it was always understood that Armand would follow his father into the family business.
		For Armand, it was an honor to match cymbals for the great symphonies and to collaborate with the greatest drummers of the day to develop the new cymbal sounds musicians were looking for.

	PAS.org: About PAS
		The life of 1994 PAS Hall of Fame inductee Armand Zildjian has been characterized by his love of cymbals, love of the entire Zildjian-company family, and love of music and musicians.
		A descendant of the original Avedis Zildjian and the son of Avedis Zildjian III (who was elected to the PAS Hall of Fame in 1979), Armand grew up with rich family traditions.
		When told of his election to the PAS Hall of Fame, Armand replied that he is extremely honored and grateful; however, honor or no honor, his support and the company's support of the Percussive Arts Society has been a constant and will remain so in years to come.

		But rather than return to Turkey, where the Zildjian family had crafted cymbals since 1623 (and where he himself had apprenticed as a young boy), Avedis convinced Aram to move the company to the U.S. "I was only eight years old when Aram came to America, but I remember him well," said Armand.
		While the Zildjian Company has seen an abundance of musical trends come and go, the single element unchanged in the company since its beginnings in 1623, is the continual leadership of the Zildjian family.
		When Avedis Zildjian died in 1979, he left behind a legacy of commitment to quality and craftsmanship, which his eldest son, Armand, continued to uphold.

		Twenty-two years later, the Sabian and Zildjian companies are battling for the loyalty of the world's percussionists, with a combined 60 to 70 per cent of the quality cymbal market.
		The Zildjian clash had its origins in Constantinople in 1623 when Robert Zildjian's Armenian ancestor, an alchemist named Avedis, was appointed cymbal-maker to the Turkish sultan.
		Zildjian said that his name is Turkish-Armenian for cymbal (zil) - smith or maker (dj) - son (ian) and can be dated back to at least the 1670s.
