A celebration of the secret Zildjian alloy discovered by Avedis Zildjian in 1618.
This limited edition 400th Anniversary Flat Bill Snapback celebrates the origin of the secret Zildjian alloy. In 1618, Avedis I, an Armenian alchemist living in Constantinople, discovered a secret process for treating alloys and applied it to the art of making cymbals of extraordinary clarity and sustain. This proprietary mix of copper, tin and silver is still used in Zildjian cymbals today. The alchemy symbols used in the design represent each of the metals in this secret alloy, arranged in the shape of a cymbal. This cotton hat has a high-profile and a flat bill with an adjustable snapback closure, making it the perfect fit for any drummer.
