Zildjian worked closely with jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum to create the K1118 20 inch K Constantinople Renaissance Ride cymbal - a complement to the 22 inch version on which they had previously collaborated.
The 20 inch K Constantinople Renaissance ride is a complement to the 22 inch version, but with some unique qualities. The 20 inch Renaissance Ride offers a smaller, over-hammered bell, for a sound that's more contained, more integrated with the overall cymbal, and less chimey. A thin, versatile, crash weight (between 1,786-1,871 grams) provides clean stick definition and offers drummers the added flexibility of alternating between ride patterns and crashing without overwhelming the stick.
The legendary K Con is the pinnacle of the Zildjian cymbal line, renowned for its perfect blended sound quality. Complex hammering contributes to the cymbal's unique sonic identity and dark tones that can be at once cutting and smooth. Made in small batches using a 14-step process, every K Constantinople has its own signature voice.
