A bolder, more emphasized and defined
fundamental stick sound with a little more articulation. Dry with a
good degree of very pleasing overtones and "wash".
K Constantinople cymbals speak with the
dark warm sound associated with Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey in
the first half of the 20th Century. "Old K's" first
resurfaced during the 1950s and 1960s in set-ups of bebop era
vanguard drummers like Elvin Jones.
K Constantinoples are hand-lathed by
skilled artisans using old-style cutting tools. Pits and other
surface impurities, that modern finishing processes remove, are
retained, preserving the original tonal quality.
