Zildjian K Constantinople Hi-Hat Pair

Crafted using traditional and modern hammering techniques for enriched, vintage sounds.

Soft, delicate, and subtle without being mushy. Unique, ultra warm, and dark sound, ideal for acoustic jazz and studio work. Though the “chick” sound is very dry and warm, it is full-bodied with plenty of presence. Developed in conjunction with the maestro, Elvin Jones.

The 14″ K Constantinople Hi-Hats have received a makeover. Incorporating the same features as the 15”, 17”, and 19” K Constantinople Crashes, the Hi-Hats now utilize hammering techniques, allowing the cymbal to open up with more dark overtones, distinction, and musicality than ever before. The pin lathe, added to the top and bottom of each cymbal, serves as an additional tonal groove, adding to the overall complexity of the sound produced. Additionally, the pin lathe enhances the visual appearance of these cymbals, adding a vintage look of the Ks of the past.
