Robert 'RZ' Zildjian -- the guy who founded the Sabian cymbal company -- died today at the age of 89.

Zildjian was a titan in the music world -- and was credited with re-inventing the cymbal industry after leaving the business started by his family, the Zildjian cymbal company.

According to reports, Zildjian singlehandedly grew Sabian into the 2nd largest cymbal company in the world ... only placing behind his family's business, which he helped run for years.


My ears are ringing just thinking about his products.

Would you say he "crashed?" Or was he wearing a "top hat" at the time?

I apologize for the music geek mentality.
