Developed in conjunction with renowned jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum, the 22" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride is a versatile instrument that works well in small to medium size musical settings. This cymbal features smoother lathing on both sides and a bell that is unlathed underneath, adding stick definition to the instrument. Three rows of over hammering and four large hammer clusters give it a dark spread with overtones and a bit of "trash." The K Constantinople Renaissance Ride is medium-thin in weight.
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!
