- An amazing 20 year old K Custom - the ORIGINAL too! Pretty hard to find these days.
- This particular 22” has a stunning deep and dark patina! Really beautiful. It’s aged magnificently. Very dry with that light complexity the newer versions lack.
- Everything about this Zildjian says K CONSTANTINOPLE DRY RIDE.
- Technically it’s a K Custom but look at the craftsmanship on this ORIGINAL High Definition 22” - check out the hammering around the raw bell, look at the lathing and the hammering all the way out to the edge - it looks straight out of the Early K Constantinople Series. I mean hell, it’s a K Cons with a Raw Bell and a drier tone with great projection.
- And this is the Original version and it’s aged magnificently over the last 2 decades. It has a deep and dark sienna hue that’s stunning. Just beautiful to even look at.
- And the underside is LATHED - unlike the new version, which gives this particular 22” more body than the ultra dry newer model. This one inhabits the Goldilocks zone with a little bit more complexity.
- ORIGINAL Zildjian K Custom 22” High Definition Ride with the most lovely, light complexity but still remains dry.
- This 22” has an incredibly straight-up DRY stick attack…
- ….but then there’s this light subtle breathiness in the wash compliments of the unlathed underside.
-
3138 grams gives it a to Medium weight that guarantees what the name suggests “High DEFINITION.” This one has magnificent articulation while not being dead.
- Overall it plays a bit lighter - maybe that’s the K Constantinople craftsmanship.
- Alternate gold and brown wide lathing on BOTH top and bottom.
- K Cons styled bell but RAW - cuts very well.
- DRY. Very organic. A shadow of a light and breathy smoky wash. Very, very fast decay and quick responsiveness - especially for such a large cymbal. Strong bell. Simply incredible stick articulations.
- Sounds amazing with fast and intricate patterns but sighs a dry breath with slow quarter notes.
- Perfect for soft to louder situations.
- No issues. Fantastic condition. Super dark and rich patina naturally built up. Gorgeous Zildjian that’s K CONSTANTINOPLE.
- A stunning, hard to find Original version.
