20'' Zildjian K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride

The Zildjian 20'' K Constantinople Medium Thin High Ride is an exceptional ride cymbal for demanding drummers seeking a rich, musical, and dynamic sound. This hand-hammered ride from the prestigious K Constantinople series is inspired by vintage Turkish cymbals and delivers a warm, complex tone with clear stick definition. The “High” version has a slightly higher pitch, allowing the cymbal to remain bright while still preserving its dark character.

Thanks to its medium-thin weight, this ride responds extremely well to dynamics and touch, making it ideal for jazz, fusion, blues, and acoustic music. The subtle wash blends beautifully within an ensemble, while the controlled sustain ensures an elegant and refined overall sound. The bell is musical and well integrated—never overpowering, but perfectly usable for accents. This Zildjian K Constantinople ride is a true favorite among studio and live drummers who demand authenticity, nuance, and character.
