Latest Drum News :

On April 6th a fire broke out at the Zildjian cymbal company’s headquarters in Norwell on Monday night.

Crews responded around 8:45 p.m., according to Norwell Deputy Fire Chief David Kean.

The fire was contained to a dust collection system and some associated ductwork in the cymbal production plant. There was no significant damage to the structure of the building and no injuries were reported, he said.

Crews were at the scene for about two and a half hours, fire officials said.

Norwell Deputy Fire Chief David Kean said the fire appeared to have started from dust overheating in the system. A similar fire broke out at the company about 20 years ago,“It happens every so often,” Kean added.
