Description

The new K Constantinople Hi Bell Rides explore a bell shape that was modeled after a 100 year-old pair of Zildjian Orchestral cymbals. The larger surface area of the bell provides a wider range of frequencies, yet is not overpowering.

The Hi Bell Rides also feature a combination of traditional K Constantinople lathing and innovative "Spiral" lathing techniques. The new technique of Spiral lathing allows the cymbal to remain controlled while still making the Ride "crashable" and delivering an articulate stick sound. The Spiral lathing is employed from the bell to the middle of the cymbal only, with traditional lathing on the remainder of the cymbal.

    This cymbal is by far one of the best cymbal's Zildjian has ever produced. It's a great ride for smooth jazz, crash for rock, or a nice wash ride for pop. I have used it in live and studio applications, and in both situations I have received numerous complements. As a studio engineer it has been a great crash cymbal, it sounds very full and really doesn't require a lot of EQ. This is a great cymbal that I recommend to any drummer that want's a great sounding, professional cymbal. Definitely worth the money!!

    Ok I was a little sceptical when I saw the price on this cymbal but when I hit it I fell in love. Its has AMAZING stick definition while all over an amazing wash of overtones. This is not one of those rides that gets louder the longer you play it, it's always the same volume, but you can still play dynamics on it. Overall amazing ride, keep in mind that since these are hand made there all gonna sound a little different.

    I am very interested in purchasing but want to hear it in person, and no stores seem to stock it (19067 zip). Is there a way I can have the ability to try it first? Thank you

    Unfortunately, no. To have a product shipped to a store would require a purchase.
