Zildjian SERIE K Constantinople Medium Thin High 22” Ride Cymbal

Plenty of give, texture and "crashability". Combination of top articulation and bottom spread provides excellent stick articulation. Higher in pitch.

K Constantinople cymbals speak with the dark warm sound associated with Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey in the first half of the 20th Century.

"Old Ks" first resurfaced during the 1950’s and 1960’s in set-ups of bebop era vanguard drummers like Elvin Jones.

K Constantinoples are hand-lathed by skilled artisans using old-style cutting tools. Pits and other surface impurities, that modern finishing processes remove, are retained, preserving the original tonal quality.

Traditional Finish. Mid Sound. Long Sustain. General Volume. Medium Thin Weight.
