Zildjian ride cymbal for jazz and versatile playing
The Zildjian K Constantinople Renaissance Ride is a 22 inch ride cymbal developed in collaboration with jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum. This ride is aimed at players who want a versatile cymbal with a distinct voice in small to medium musical settings.
Its medium-thin weight gives the K Constantinople Renaissance Ride a responsive feel and broad usability in jazz-focused applications. If you are looking for a ride cymbal with character for combo, ensemble or a compact live setup, this model fits that role well.
Dark overtones, trashy sound and clear stick definition
What sets this Zildjian ride apart is the combination of smoother lathing on both sides, an unlathed bell on the underside and a specific hammering layout. That unlathed bell increases stick definition, so your articulation comes through clearly.
Three rows of overhammering and four large hammer clusters give the K Constantinople Renaissance Ride dark overtones and a trashy sound. The result is a ride cymbal that brings both articulation and complexity, especially in small to medium ensembles.
