Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride Cymbal

The Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride Cymbal is a crispy, articulate ride with a dark character. What makes this ride stand out from the crowd though, is its medium-thin weight and high pitched tone. The mixture of high pitch and brilliant stick response makes this a great ride for fast patterns and intricate grooves.

The K1121’s possesses great sustain and a lovely bright wash more akin to a crash than a ride cymbal, but its scooped sound means it never gets too lively or out of hand, and makes the energy of your stickwork the focus of its sound.

The Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride Cymbal benefits from traditional hand-lathing methods as used by Turkish artisans in the first half of the 20th Century. This new breed of K Constantinople’s use the skills and knowledge as laid down by those expert craftsmen and continues to use those traditional techniques, letting the natural topology of the cymbal’s surface inform how they shape its sound. This results in a pure, old-school character unique to each cymbal.
