Your cart is empty.The K Constantinople Medium Thin Ride Low features plenty of give and complex texture, with great 'crashability' at a medium thin weight. The combination of top articulation and bottom spread provides excellent stick articulation. It features a slightly lower profile than the Medium Thin Low, resulting in a darker sound with more wash, at a lower fundamental pitch.

Ganz klar es handelt sich hier um ein Top Becken (20'' Medium Thin Low Ride) Fünf Sterne!!. Es kling leicht tief und schön washy ... von Aussen nach innen gespielt ergeben sich unterschiedliche Klangnuancen. Der Ping setzt sich trotz des ganzen Klang-Teppichs immer gut ab. Die Glocke klingt - mit der Stockspitze gespielt - hell und angenehm unaufdringlich, spielt man mit dem Schaft schneidet der Bim gut durch. Ancrashen funktioniert sehr gut (klar ist ja thin ...). Kurzum ein rundum gelungenes Becken mit einem vielseitigen Einsatzbereich, dass man sich auch gut als einziges ans Set hängen kann. Für Rock und härter wird man aber wahrscheinlich eine andere wahr treffen.Ärgerlich ist der Versand bzw. die Verpackung. Es wird ein 40x40x50 Karton geliefert in dem das Becken, nur durch eine Plastiktüte geschützt, herum wackelt (nicht mal Blister...). So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass mein Exemplar eine Delle am Rand bekommen hat. Das geht in dieser Preisklasse einfach nicht... Hier würde ich sogar gerne noch mehr Sterne abziehen ... Mach ich auch jetzt ...

I played on and later purchased this Zildjian 20” Constantinople low ride. The cymbal I selected has a wonderful lower pitched ping with a well controlled broad wash. It also has a responsive crash. I highly recommend it for ensemble jazz. It blends well and does not overpower the band. There can be significant differences between different copies of this cymbal. I highly recommend picking one from a local provider so you can compare and contrast variations.

Lo primero el empaquetado, lamentable, no se puede mandar un plato de 400 o 500€ dando tumbos dentro de una caja, para rematar el repartidor de Amazon lo tiró por encima de una puerta de 2 metros de altura, la caja se rompió y el plato no de milagro.Lo siguiente el plato. Tiene muy buen aspecto, de hecho es precioso, pero el sonido no está a esa altura. No entiendo la fama de estos platos si este es un ejemplo de como "deben sonar", ni me gustó el ping ni el wash, y para que crashee, a un supuesto plato de jazz le tienes que arrear con unas 5B como si fueras el bataca de Metalica.Si me tocó la pieza mala, entonces no entiendo como Zildjian, en 400 años que dicen que llevan haciendo platos, no hayan aprendido a que les salgan todos al menos medio bien o a descartar las "ovejas negras", realmente no sé que hacen esos dos que en los vídeos de youtube sobre la fábrica dicen que los prueban todos.Al menos el que yo recibí no vale lo que cobran por él. En cuanto a la devolución Amazon un 10, como siempre

This is an incredible cymbal with a pleasingly low pitch, and a beautiful balance between stick articulation and wash. The bell isn't the most pronounced I've seen, but projects nicely with a beautiful chime. Despite the large size (22") and weight (mine is just over 2500 g), this cymbal also crashes easily with a big 'bwooosh'. While I've never owned another K Con, I have had a few Keropes in the past. I would say this cymbal has the benefits of my favourite Keropes, while having a better bell, projection and a higher volume threshold. While this cymbal rewards quieter playing, it doesn't seem to wash out at louder volumes like the Keropes did. While I haven't had the chance to use this in a band setting yet, I can already tell that it will cut through far better than those Keropes, nice as they are.The bottom line here is that I have no critique of the cymbal itself. Amazon's prices fluctuate wildly though, and I managed to get this for hundreds less than the current list price. It may pay to be patient and check back often, especially when stock is low. The other critique I have (of Amazon, not the cymbal) is that the cymbal was shipped in an over-sized box, with zero padding or protection. Thankfully it arrived unscathed, but others may not be so lucky. This is an incredible cymbal that most drummers would be thrilled to play, but getting it from Amazon is a calculated risk. For me, that risk paid off big time, but your mileage may vary.

自分には縁が無い商品と思ってましたが、驚き価格で購入できました。 スタジオ等に設置されてる物とは明らかに別物です。 ガチでＪＡＺＺとか叩く人用で、自分はこのシンバルにあったフレーズの引き出しが無く、チーチキ チーチキと演る位です。 まるで宝石の様です。 見てるだけだけでも楽しい。 これは買えて良かった。

This is a great cymbal. However, it did not fit my style of playing.

This cymbal is prized among pros for its sound, which has helped define jazz drumming for decades. With the proper wood sticks, you get amazing stick articulation with just enough warm "wash" and sustain. The somewhat lower, darker tone of the "low" K const is ideal for small trios/ensembles. An added bonus: The bell has a robust ping and you don't have to work hard to pull out its chime. The quality of the sound is worth every penny. It is my #1 ride for small, delicate and sometimes fast ensemble work. If you are in a larger swing band, I might recommend the K const "high" which may cut better through the loud brass chorus.

Real nice articulation and clarity even while playing fast patterns. Beautiful spread and sustain when crashed. You could use it for rock, but I really think its voice is geared towards jazz. It sounds awesome now. Can't wait to see how it sounds in 20 years.
