Zildjian Drum Set Cymbals 101
22" K CONSTANTINOPLE MEDIUM THIN RIDE, LOW
How To Prevent Your Cymbals From Cracking
Description
The Zildjian K Constantinople 22" Medium Thin Low Ride is handcrafted to conjure the coveted sounds of early 20th-century Istanbul. Brought to life using traditional methods passed down through generations of master cymbalsmiths, the K Constantinople Ride sings with dark, mysterious overtones and a sustain that seems to last forever. Its medium-thin weight and low profile provide a supple response that's highly articulate and wonderfully crashable. Drummers seeking a versatile ride with character will find inspiration in the K Constantinople's exotic voice.
Hand-Hammered Using Time-Honored Techniques
The K Constantinople Ride is hand-hammered from 80-percent copper, 20-percent tin and with traces of silver, and uses techniques that have remained largely unchanged since Zildjian opened its doors in 1623. Pits and imperfections are left intact, imbuing the cymbal with a complex harmonic structure that modern finishing processes typically remove. The result is a musical instrument with a depth of tone that can't be replicated by machine.
A Sonic Palette for Inspired Drumming
Whether played lightly with mallets or struck forcefully with sticks, the K Constantinople Ride serves up a kaleidoscope of sounds that spark creativity. Its medium-thin weight provides clear stick definition even at high volumes, while a broad spread of frequencies emanates from below for a wash that builds dynamically.
Built to Withstand the Rigors of Performance
While the K Constantinople Ride conjures vintage Turkish tones, its build quality is thoroughly modern. Rigorously tested and proven to handle the physical stresses of touring and recording, this professional-grade cymbal provides years of dependable service. Its traditional finish develops a natural patina over time that only adds warmth and character. When vintage soul and workhorse durability unite, the result is an instrument like no other.
