zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Plenty of give, texture and "crashability." Higher in pitch.

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.

"The Best Ride Ever?"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I'll play this cymbal until I am dust.
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.
Features
Best feature? It's sound, from all areas from edge to shoulder to bell, clean, crisp - like the K's of old!
Ease of Use
Not for the head banger! Everything else though - it works!
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.
Manufacturer Support
Zildjian's customer service is legendary - one year warranty is strong.
