Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a cracked or lost top from an existing pair
  • Pairing a K Constantinople top with a different bottom on purpose
  • Drummers who already own a bottom hi-hat they like

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone who needs a working hi-hat out of the box
  • First-time buyers, who should get the matched pair instead
  • Players wanting a guaranteed factory-matched chick

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 01

Top cymbal only

You get one cymbal. It will not function as a hi-hat until you add a bottom.

Detail 02

14-inch size

Standard hi-hat diameter, so it mates with any 14-inch bottom and fits every standard clutch.

Detail 03

K Constantinople line

Zildjian's hand-hammered professional series. Tops in this line vary piece to piece.

Detail 04

Yellow bronze finish

Traditional unlathed-to-lathed cymbal color rather than a bright polish. It darkens with handling over time.

Detail 05

$399.95 for one cymbal

Roughly half the pair price, which is what a single top from this series costs.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No bottom cymbal, no stand, no clutch, no felts included.
  2. 02Mixing this with another brand's bottom changes the chick sound.
  3. 03Confirm your existing bottom is 14 inch before ordering.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with the bottom hi-hat?

No. This is the top cymbal alone. You need a 14-inch bottom to play it as a hi-hat.

02Can I pair it with a different bottom?

Yes, any 14-inch bottom works mechanically. The closed sound and chick will differ from the factory pair.

03Should I just buy the pair instead?

If you don't already own a bottom you like, yes. The matched pair is the intended combination.

04Which side goes up?

This is the top cymbal, so it mounts above the clutch, bell up, riding on the pull rod.
