Because this project was sanctioned by the Zildjian family the book is filled with rare memorabilia and countless never-before-seen photos. Drummers such as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, and Ringo Starr are among the players who have crashed, splashed, choked, gonged and ridden Zildjians to make musical history. Available in a Limited Edition Collector's Hardcover version and a Softcover Edition. Both are available at music and bookstores nationwide, or by calling (800) 637-2852.
