The K Constantinople Bounce Ride is the result of a collaboration with jazz artist Kenny Washington, and recreates the specs of an old, classic K gifted to him in the 1970's by late jazz great Mel Lewis. While replicating the higher curvature and narrower, wider spaced lathing style, a new cup design was created to best resemble that of Kenny's old K. Extra 'cluster' hammering, typically found in orchestral cymbals and placed around the cymbal in eight unique clusters, gives the cymbal a lower drone and just enough trash and 'dirt'. This 20" size features slightly smaller hammer clusters and a slightly higher pitch than the 22", with plenty of wash and sustain that rides over the band and cuts through most small-to-big band settings.

The Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Bounce Ride brings big vintage sound in an even bigger package with features like individual hand-hammering which results in one of the most distinctive voices in cymbals, a larger bell for even more volume, and a wide lathing which results in a nice ping on the bow. Favored by musicians of all genres and decades since their renaissance in the '50s and '60s, these cymbals are a jazz drummer's dream, but also ideal for anyone after that vintage Turkish sound.
