Zildjian, founded in 1623, is the world’s oldest manufacturer of cymbals, drumsticks, and percussion instruments. Renowned for their craftsmanship, warm tones, and innovative designs, Zildjian cymbals are played by hundreds of professional drummers across the world—genres notwithstanding, from jazz legends to rock heroes and classical master virtuosos. Their instruments are now a staple of the modern drum kit and percussion ensemble, widely recognized for their versatility, durability, and expressiveness.

Having an Artist Relations office inside CenterStaging provides Zildjian with direct access to Los Angeles’ vibrant, influential drumming scene. It allows the company to work in close partnership with high-end drummers, session players, and educators, providing personalized gear, artist support, and product feedback that drive product development. This proximity maintains Zildjian’s position at the forefront of cymbal and percussion development, addressing changing needs in live and studio performance. Furthermore, it provides a space to hold artist clinics, product demonstrations, and sessions that reinforce Zildjian’s reputation as a premium brand while providing a platform for mentorship for emerging drummers. 

Although CenterStaging is not 400 years old, we have still been a close partner of Zildjian for quite some time.  We carry many more cymbals in our inventory than what you will see in our gear catalog, so if you are looking for something specific please reach out and let us know!
