Ride Cymbal

The Zildjian K Constantinople is the legendary ride cymbal that has fulfilled the expectations of jazzmen in search of authenticity. You'll inherit an instrument with visible hammering and a satin patina that's instantly recognisable. Its rich, dark sound, with its perfectly balanced halo length, is an immediate reference to historic drummers. This is an investment for life, a masterpiece that will give your set a soul and a story!

ARTICLE N° 111567
The Zildjian K Constantinople K1119 cymbal follows in the footsteps of the great artisan cymbals that have marked the history of jazz. Its dark, warm sound is reminiscent of the models handmade in Turkey in the mid-twentieth century, with that blend of depth and subtlety that still appeals to musicians today.

Hammered irregularly and turned by hand, it develops a rich texture, full of nuances, where each stroke of the mallet remains legible despite the generous halo of sound. Its slightly lower profile gives it a lower tone, with more wash and a fuller response than the High model.

Its muted resonance and complex harmonics immediately evoke the sounds of iconic drummers like Elvin Jones and Jimmy Cobb. This ride is a perfect example of Zildjian's ability to blend age-old tradition with modern demands!
