As Zildjian celebrates their 400th anniversary tonight with a concert in Boston, I want to show off this rare #cassette in which Armand Zildjian and Lennie DiMuzio pay tribute to their close friend, famed drummer Buddy Rich. This tribute aired on National Public Radio in 1988. It is said #zildjian had these cassettes made to give as gifts to friends and patrons of the company. #cymbals
