My friend – and fabulous drummer – Stefano Baldassaroni!
From Dan Mitton on Fb., 4/28/19: Sabian Cymbals was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian. He had a conflict with his brother Armand after he was not named as the main CEO and successor of Avedis Zildjian. Robert opened Sabian in the small eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick. (I’m from Moncton, New Brunswick so this is a bit of local lore.) The name ‘Sabian’ comes from the first two letters of the names of Zildjian’s three children (Sally, Billy, and Andy)
