Zildjian K CONSTANTINOPLE LIGHT RIDE 22” SIZZLE PERFECT Ultra WARM! Crashable! Collectible! 2286 g
Harder to Find, THIN Limited Edition Zildjian K Constantinople 22” LIGHT RIDE that is in IMMACULATE Condition!
And it’s a factory Sizzle too!! Three Zildjian cluster rivets all intact. In the generous 22” size!
Don’t guess at tone. Have a listen to this exact cymbal.
ONLY 2286 grams which is definitely LIGHT, beautiful stick attack mixed with that K Cons warmth. Amazing dark tone with a woody attack.
And the handiwork looks like th original Light as well. And that’s the idea.
It’s perfect.
Of course Armand Zildjian’s signature is emblazoned on the underside!
And this specific 22” has an amazing attack for a “LIGHT RIDE!” Very nice articulation for a THIN K Constantinople Sizzle. Great even and balanced weight for this series.
This 22” K Constantinople Ride is, not surprisingly, a terrific Light Ride. It’s thin. And as promised, LIGHT.
The tone is semi-dark, extremely MELLOW, and very warm and glowing. There is a FANTASTIC stick definition on top with a dark, warm wash rumbling underneath.
As you can see, the bell is hammered and integrated - EXACTLY like the original Light Rides, but still solid enough for “the latin thing.” It’s remarkably crashable because it is a pretty thin K Cons.
Makes an incredible massive Dark Crash.
Exceptionally BALANCED when playing with a bit more darkness in there. Medium low to low in pitch, responsive, glowing, FANTASTIC STICK DEFINITION for a Light Ride Sizzle. 3 cluster rivets offer a subtle rain-on-the-roof glow that harkens back to the 1940s.
That is this K Constantinople. And it’s in perfect shape. Playable. Collectible. Absolutely gorgeous 22”.
