Detail 01
Thin weight
Opens up fast and crashes easily, but the stick definition washes out under hard playing.

ZildjianK Constantinople Over-Hammered Thin Ride 22 in.
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch thin ride, hand-hammered K series. For drummers who want a washy, low-pitched ride with a soft stick attack and quick crash response.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz, brushes, and small-room kits where volume stays down
- Players who ride on the bow and want wash, not ping
- Drummers who crash the ride instead of using a separate crash
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud rock or metal — thin weight buries under distorted guitar
- Anyone needing a cutting bell for defined quarter notes
- Drummers hard on cymbals; thin 22s crack under heavy shoulder hits
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
22 inch diameter
Lower pitch and longer sustain than a 20. Needs stand height and room in a tight kit.
Detail 03
Over-hammered
Extra hammering breaks up the tone, pushing it darker and drier with less sustained ring.
Detail 04
K Constantinople series
Zildjian's dark, complex line. Warmer and less bright than A series cymbals.
Detail 05
$779.95
Hand-hammered pricing. This is a career cymbal, not a first upgrade.
Final check

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as my only ride?
Yes, if you play quieter styles. It rides and crashes both. In loud settings the wash will swallow your quarter notes and you'll fight it.
02How does it compare to an A series ride?
Darker, drier, and lower in pitch. A series is brighter and more cutting with a clearer ping. K Constantinople trades projection for complexity.
03Is the bell usable for cowbell-style patterns?
It's there but soft. Thin K Constantinople bells are integrated into the overall wash rather than sitting on top as a separate voice.
04Will it fit a standard cymbal bag?
Only bags rated for 22 inches. Many gig bags top out at 20 or 22, so check the listed capacity before ordering.
