ZildjianK Constantinople Hi-Hat Pair 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A matched 14-inch K Constantinople hi-hat pair from Zildjian's hand-hammered pro line. For drummers buying a career hi-hat, not a first one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz and low-volume gigs where stick definition matters more than volume
- Drummers replacing a starter hi-hat with a long-term pair
- Studio work where a controlled, complex chick is needed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud rock or metal stages needing raw cutting volume
- First-kit buyers who haven't settled on a sound yet
- Anyone needing a second beater pair for heavy touring
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold as a pair
Top and bottom come matched, so you get the intended chick and closed sound without pairing plates yourself.
Detail 03
K Constantinople line
Zildjian's hand-hammered professional series. Each pair varies slightly, so no two sound exactly alike.
Detail 04
$799.95 pair price
Professional tier. About double a mid-line 14-inch pair, and the price reflects hand work, not size.
Final check
Know before you order

- 03Thin pro hi-hats crack under heavy playing. Match them to your touch.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top and bottom, or just one cymbal?
Both. This is the matched pair, top and bottom, ready to mount on a hi-hat stand.
02Do I need a special clutch?
No. Any standard hi-hat clutch and stand fits a 14-inch pair. Neither is included here.
03Can I use these for rock?
You can, but they're built for control and definition rather than volume. Heavy backbeat playing shortens their life.
04Why is the price higher than other 14-inch hats?
Hand hammering and the K Constantinople series, not the size. Diameter is standard; the labor and finishing are not.
