Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Medium Ride 2010s Traditional
Reverb Estimated Used Price Range
- $310 — $405
Developed as the company's flagship series, K Constantinople cymbals are crafted to emulate the handmade cymbals Zildjian produced in the early 20th Century while still in Turkey. Designed to develop a more complex character as they age, each cymbal is hand-hammered, producing unique attributes even between cymbals of the same size and model.
The Medium Ride benefits from a more pronounced sticking articulation and overall presence in volume thanks to the heavier weight.
Years of production: 1998-present
Composition: Zildjian Secret Alloy (80% copper, 20% tin, traces of silver)
Notable players: Ringo Starr, Billy Cobham, Glenn Kotche
