Zildjian 400th Anniversary Classical T-shirt L Grey

Zildjian cymbals in classical music

This limited edition Zildjian 400th Anniversary design celebrates the entry of Zildjian cymbals into popular music. During the mid-to-late nineteenth century, composers such as Berlioz and Wagner begin featuring an abundance of cymbals in their compositions and requested that only Zildjian cymbals be used. It was during this time that cymbals achieved an important and permanent position in orchestras.

A milestone in Zildjian history

Inspired by a Turkish tapestry from the same era, these silhouetted illustrations of orchestral percussionists celebrate this milestone.
