Lennie DiMuzio, longtime artist relations manager for the Avedis Zildjian company. Later in life DiMuzio worked for Sabian Ltd., which, on its Facebook page, described him as “a one-of-a-kind and a true legend who helped shape the industry we know and love.”

DiMuzio was an important figure in the careers of multiple generations of the world’s top drummers, from Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson to Kenny Aronoff and Todd Sucherman. Along with company patriarch Armand Zildjian, DiMuzio, who began his career as a cymbal tester, helped invent the concept of artist relations in the music industry, nourishing Zildjian’s endorsers professionally and supporting them personally.
