CareerZildjian was born in Boston, Massachusetts and belonged to the Zildjian family, which brought the technology of cymbal making to the United States by Armenian Avedis Zildjian, and then passed it on to future generations of family members. The company was founded in 1981 in Meductic, New Brunswick, Canada, by Robert Zildjian, son of Avedis Zildjian III, the head of the Avedis Zildjian Company located in Quincy, Massachusetts. Family tradition had it that the head of the company would pass its secrets down only to the oldest son, but Avedis III gave the information to both his sons, Armand Zildjian and Robert Zildjian. A family feud resulted in Robert leaving Zildjian to form the rival Sabian Cymbals company. Robert Zildjian said, "It got to the point where they were taking away certain parts of my job. I was the export man. I was the advertising. I was the marketing. I was quite a few things. All of a sudden I was bereft of all that." [1] The companies continue to be rivals, and are both among the world's most popular cymbal brands. Sabian cymbals have been used by many famous drummers in the world, including Tony Royster, Jr. (Jay Z), Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Peart of Rush, and Mike Portnoy, formerly of Dream Theater. Zildjian remained active in management until recently, spending most of the summer in a cottage in Meductic, New Brunswick near the main production facility. Zildjian formed the word Sabian from the two first letters of the names of his three children Sally, Bill and Andy (a nickname for Armand) and "-ian" (indicating Armenian descent).{{Citation needed|reason=The first letters of the names form 'Sabian'. Did he really ADD '-ian' to indicate Armenian descent. Reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=April 2016}} DeathZildjian died March 28, 2013, at his home in Brunswick, Maine at the age of 89 after a battle with cancer. In addition to his wife Willi, sons Andy and Wilson (Bill), and daughter Sally Zildjian-Teague, he was survived by eight grandchildren.[2] References1. ^{{Citation|last=Gary B|title=Interview with the late Robert Zildjian, founder of Sabian Cymbals|date=2016-05-29|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv30TRytOk4|accessdate=2017-03-28}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=ROBERT ZILDJIAN |url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?n=robert-zildjian&pid=163928006 |publisher= The Boston Globe|date= March 31, 2013|via=Legacy.com |accessdate=14 October 2018}} External links
