Gorgeous-sounding Zildjian Ride

The Zildjian K Constantinople 22" Ride Cymbal gives your kit a no-nonsense accent. Dark and warm, the K Constantinople 22" Ride conjures the sound the Zildjians made in Turkey in the first half of the twentieth century. The classic "Old K" dry overtones are there, along with a silky-smooth decay (a sound favored by legendary bebop-era vanguard drummers such as Elvin Jones). This cymbal is particularly striking among the K Constantinople models you'll find at Sweetwater because of its higher pitch. Hand-lathed by skilled artisans, the K Constantinoples retain pits and other surface impurities that modern finishing processes remove. The result? Pure tone. You want distinctive? The Zildjian K Constantinople Ride is a sure bet.

Great Ride

This is my 4th K Constantinople ride medium high medium low.and medium plus a 20"Renaissance. Switch on and off on the 22s keep the 20 right over top.Everyone of the cymbals have been just what they say on them very nice stick definition. The more they age the better they resonate.
Music background: Some what good.

A Cymbal in a class of its own!

I always play Paiste cymbals.. Love them , played All brands but always came back to Paiste... But if you want a ride cymbal that is different and sounds amazing! This is the one! Well I won't be giving up my Paiste but be happy to incorporate this amazing cymbal into my arsenal !! You know this is a great example of you get what you pay for and some more! Buy it you won't be sorry!
Music background: 40 + years as a Drummer!

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
