    Cymbal Honcho Dies at 89

    TMZ.com
    3/28/2013

    By TMZ Staff

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

    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.

    Basically, if you've ever played the drums ... or know someone who has
    ... or have ever seen a live band perform ... there's a damn good
    chance you've heard Robert's work.

    R.I.P.
