"The Best Ride Ever?"

Feature:
Best feature? It's sound, from all areas from edge to shoulder to bell, clean, crisp - like the K's of old!

Quality:
Hand made, hand hammered, hand lathed. What more could you ask for?

Value:
It ain't cheap my friends - but it's worth every penny. Retails over $700, street price $375 to $450.

Sound:
This is more than a cymbal - it's a true percussion instrument. Great bell sound, great light wash, great stick definition. Works on many different styles of playing.

Ease of Use:
Not for the head banger! Everything else though - it works!

Support:
Zildjian's customer service is legendary - one year warranty is strong.

Overall:
I'll play this cymbal until I am dust.

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
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 1950s and 1960s 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.
