A great CYMBAL company. Also makes drumsticks. Started in 1623, which makes them about oh... 361 years old at the time of writing.
When a cymbal company is over a hundred years older than the country it's currently being popularized in, you know it's gotta be doing something right.

Actor 1: Have you seen Zildian, he is such good person.

Actor 2:That’s because you haven’t gotten to know him, he is one that is capable of going over the limit of 56 times a day.
