"Zildjian Factory" Track with Kaz Rodriguez

The “Zildjian Factory” track by Kaz Rodriguez features various sounds that were recorded by Kaz in the Zildjian Factory and used to create a track completely inspired by the making of a Zildjian cymbal. From playing the castings straight out of the melt room, to creating a steady 2 and 4 accent based on the sound of a cymbal being cut into a circle, to using a unique hammering pattern to form the basis of the song; Kaz was able to arrange a beautiful play along track out of the sounds of the Zildjian Factory. Featuring Lawrence Insula on bass.
