Cymbals

Solid Beat. Perfect all-purpose combination of stick and "chick" sound.
Zildjian's classic sound is embodied by A Zildjian and immortalized in countless recordings by the greatest drummers of all time. Known for their versatility, these bright cymbals range from paper thin and delicate to extra heavy and cutting. Recent adjustments were made to the curvature and weights of many current models to capture the sweet spot of the classic A sound, producing crashes, rides, and hats that reflect today's musical styles.

Captures the Pure Raw Sound of Historic New Orleans

Quick and lively built up due to its extra thin edge. The steep bow is responsible for the rapid and mellow-dark sounding decay. A perfect addition to the Jazz Tradition line.

The new 17" K Constantinople Crash compliments the 16" and 18" Crashes currently in the product line. It features a new hammering technique, an additional pin lathe on the top and bottom, and a new vintage-style cup. These new features allow the cymbal to maintain the dark, expressive quality of the K Constantinople line sought by drummers the world over and incorporate even more overtones and nuances. The cymbal is thin in weight and the new pin lathe feature also gives the cymbal an appearance similar to earlier Ks from the 60's.
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.

Maximum Power Potential.
Lay into this bad boy and you'll really feel what the Heavy A line is all about.
