Zildjian 400th Anniversary Flat Bill Alchemy Hat - Purple

Commemorative Flat Bill Hat with Embroidered Patch Design and Adjustable Snapback Closure - Purple, Limited Edition

Centuries of Heritage, Milestone-worthy Designs

As staggering as it is, it’s nothing short of monumental that Zildjian commemorates 400 years of heritage in 2023. And, of course, Sweetwater is proud to help them celebrate. This impressive milestone is being marked by a slew of limited-edition shirts, hats, and drumsticks, and each capsule represents a different instrumental moment in the company’s story. For these 400th Anniversary Flat Bill Alchemy Hats, Zildjian delivers the Alchemy design, fittingly reminiscent of the intricate patterns popularized through the arts of the 17th century and resembling the cymbals that have defined generations of performance across the genres. A highly intricate patch adorns the front, featuring merrowed edges and a concentric pattern. A special “1623” graphic adorns the right side, and an anniversary loop decorates the rear. The hat’s adjustable snapback closure accommodates most adult sizes, and the comfortable interior is sealed with Zildjian-branded seam tape to keep every stitch cleanly organized.

Zildjian: an empire 400 years in the making

Innovation and heritage have been inextricably infused into the lifeblood of Zildjian instruments dating back to Avedis Zildjian’s work as a metalsmith and alchemist under the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. His discovery of a proprietary alloy led to his relocation along the Marmara Sea, thus birthing the formal Zildjian, “the Family of Cymbalsmiths,” as spoken in traditional Armenian. The rest is literal history. Empires and eras have risen and fallen — Zildjian itself was founded closer to the Roman Empire’s final days, yet the cymbal’s spirit persevered. This limited-edition collection exemplifies Zildjian’s illustrious musical lineage, from finding a home in the compositions of Berlioz and Wagner to establishing new roots in the United States and becoming the single biggest proprietor of cymbals in the world. Each piece of commemorative apparel pays homage to the company’s Armenian roots, complemented by designs influenced by the eras Zildjian was instrumental in defining on its road to becoming an undisputed musical empire.
