ZitatAlles anzeigenYes, the Roctagon came from Tosco in Italy according to the main sources in the literature. Hugo Pinksterboer in The Cymbal Book (p172) says
One of the most striking Tosco products was the Octagonal, introduced circa 1978, which inspired the Sabian RoctagonAnd Luca Luciano in Italian Vintage Drums and Cymbals (p124) says
In 1978, the Octagonal was designed and created, an octagonal cymbal which would then be proposed by Sabian with the name Rocktagon.Since Robert Zildjian was a shareholder in Tosco from its founding, the shared octagonal history is not surprising. Robert was also a long term technical innovator at the Avedis Zildjian Co right up until the Sabian split, and his work included Quick Beats (named as the inventor on the patent), the machine for Brilliant polishing (also named as the inventor on the patent), and hydraulic pressing into preliminary shape.
