Zildjian K Constantinople Medium - 20 inches

Released in the early 2000s, the Constantinople cymbals provided a much-anticipated response to the demand for cymbals in the vein of those used by sixties jazz drummers, like the great Elvin Jones. At the beginning of the century, when fusion music was in full swing, Zildjian heard the lament of these orphaned jazzmen faced with a production that seemed to have simply forgotten them. This series alone symbolizes the rebirth of instruments intended for more acoustic music, cymbals that were necessarily richer, a little darker, but which lost nothing in articulation or definition.
