Dark, smooth and complex. Each crash perfected with its own unique, signature voice. The K Constantinople 18" crash cymbal features new hammering techniques for dark overtones, distinction and musicality.
The body features a clear, buttery stick sound that's perfect for light riding. When opening the crash up, there is an explosive array of dark tones that decay smoothly.

With pin lathing to the top and bottom for vintage appearance and tonal complexity, you can make the Constantinople crash your own unique cymbal.
A Sonic Journey Through History
Step into the past with the Zildjian K Constantinople 18" Crash Cymbal, a tribute to the legendary Zildjian cymbals crafted in Turkey during the early 20th century. This cymbal captures the essence of the "Old Ks" that laid the foundation for the bebop era drummers of the 50s and 60s. The K Constantinople series revives the soulful sound and vintage character of these iconic cymbals.
Traditional Craftsmanship: Hand Lathed to Perfection
Crafted by skilled artisans, this 18" crash cymbal is meticulously hand lathed using old-style cutting tools and techniques. Unlike modern finishing processes that remove surface impurities, the traditional approach preserves pits and imperfections. This unique method allows the cymbal to retain its original tonal quality, untainted by contemporary practices.
Embraced by Professionals: Performance at Its Peak
The K Constantinople 18" Crash Cymbal is not just a tribute—it's a high-performance instrument favored by professional drummers worldwide. Renowned artists like Pablo Bencid (The Either Orchestra), Keith Carlock (Toto), Wayne Salzmann II (Eric Johnson), and Nils Tornqvist (Miike Snow) entrust their sound to this exceptional cymbal.
Elevate Your Sound: Experience Vintage Brilliance
Embody the spirit of jazz legends and bebop pioneers with the Constantinople Crash Cymbal. Its rich, soulful tones and historical significance make it a must-have for drummers seeking an authentic vintage sound. Embark on a Sonic Journey, Rediscover the Essence of Old K, and Let Your Music Resonate with Timeless Brilliance!
