Dark and classic with modern clarity. The finest qualities of constantinople passed down through the ages. Crash it for rock ride it for jazz. The constantinople 20 medium thin ride has a crystal clear stick definition that complements the groove beautifully. Beneath this is a subtle and well controlled dark washiness. The bell is powerful and cutting which is great for hard driving grooves and accents. The high profile of the 20 constantinople ride ensures a higher pitch timbre than the low constantinople model but still a dark tone overall. Both ride cymbals are outstanding in their quality. Although it has its roots in jazz the k zildjian constantinople ride has a huge bell tone and is super crashable making it great for jazz rock and everything in between.
