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.

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.
