Zildjian Constantinople Ride Bounce 22 '(K1114)

The specialist's opinion

The Zildjian K1114 Constantinople Ride Bounce 22 '' is the result of a collaboration with jazz artist Kenny Washington.

It recreates the characteristics of an old classic K that the great jazzman Mel Lewis gave it in the 1970s.

A new design of the bell has been created to best resemble that of Kenny's old K. An additional 'cluster' hammering, typically found in orchestral cymbals and placed around the cymbal in eight unique clusters, gives the cymbal a lower buzz and just enough noise and 'dirt'. This medium thin ride cymbal produces a tone with great resonance and sustain that carries over the band and pierces in most small to large band setups.
