Dark and classic, with modern clarity. The finest qualities of Constantinople passed down through the ages. Crash it for rock, ride it for jazz. The Constantinople 22'' medium-thin ride is buttery and soft to ride on, yet explosive when crashing. The larger diameter enhances the already clear stick definition and provides a darker sound than the 20''. Dark and washy undertones protrude every delicate stroke, but they are well-controlled and don't ring out. The bell tone is incredibly full, dark and clear, with an industrial-like sound. Perfect if you want real impact.
The low profile of the 20'' Constantinople ride ensures a lower-pitch timbre, with a controlled sustain that's ideal for playing fast passages. Although it has its roots in jazz, the K Zildjian Constantinople ride has a huge bell tone and is super crashable, making it great for jazz, rock and everything in-between.

The K Constantinople series associates its sound with the Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey during the first half of the 20th Century. Resurfacing in the 50s and 60s with bebop era drummers, "Old Ks" have laid the ground work for the new K Constantinople series.
Skilled artisans have hand lathed this 22" Medium Thin Ride cymbal using old-style cutting tools and techniques to retain pits and other surface impurities that modern finishing processes remove. This process allows the original tonal quality to be retained and untainted.
The Zildjian K Constantinople 22" Medium Thin Ride Cymbal is a high performance ride cymbal used by many professional drummers such as Joe Clegg (Ellie Goulding), Phillip Fisher (Justin Timberlake), Emily Dolan Davies (The Hours) and Sam Hunt (Joshua Sales).
