Used Zildjian 20" K Constantinople Medium Ride 2034g
This Used Zildjian 20" K Constantinople Medium Ride delivers the dark, warm, and complex character that has made the Constantinople series a favorite among jazz, studio, and acoustic players. Weighing 2034 grams, this individual cymbal offers a responsive feel with a clear stick sound, rich overtones, and enough spread to open up musically when played with greater intensity.
Dark, Complex Constantinople Character
The K Constantinople series was developed to capture the expressive character associated with historic Turkish-made Zildjian cymbals. Extensive hammering and traditional-style lathing help produce a layered voice with smoky undertones, subtle trashiness, and a warm fundamental that sits naturally within an ensemble.
Balanced Ride Definition and Wash
At 2034 grams, this 20-inch ride has enough body to maintain defined stick articulation while remaining responsive and lively under the stick. The bow produces a woody, articulate ride sound surrounded by a dark wash, while the bell adds a more focused voice for accents and timekeeping. It can also be opened up for broad, expressive crash accents.
