Dear Friends,

I just wanted to give you a heads up that Zildjian will be hosting our very first web chat with the one and only Peter Erskine! Here?s the pertinent 411:

www.zildjian.com 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, Wednesday, March 9, 2005.

To participate, you must sign up as a Z Club member ? go to our site and click on ?Z Club? and it will take you through the registration process. Questions may be submitted 30 minutes before the session begins on line (2:30 PM EST.)

This is the first of many web chats we have planned. We?re planning a chat with Steve Smith later this month, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, be sure to log on this Wednesday, March 9th at 3:00 PM to chat with Peter!

John
