The 14" K Constantinople HiHats have received a makeover. Incorporating the same features as the new 15", 17", and 19" K Constantinople Crashes, the HiHats now utilize new hammering techniques allowing the cymbal to open up with more dark overtones, distinction, and musicality than ever before. The new pin lathe, added to the top and bottom of each cymbal, serves as an additional tonal groove, adding to the overall complexity of the sound produced. Additionally, the new pin lathe enhances the visual appearance of these cymbals adding a vintage look of the Ks of the past.
The Zildjian K Constantinople series has been somewhat polarizing among the drumming community, but as far as we can see, there are a lot of people who really dig these cymbals. The care going into the manufacturing process is obvious with these, and they sound great as a result. We haven't had a dud!
