With plenty of give, texture and “crashability”, the combination of articulation and bottom spread on this Constantinople cymbal provides excellent stick articulation. Lower in pitch, this masterful cymbal presents with a lower profile and darker sound. The cymbal is designed with plenty of give and texture that helps give more wash. While some modern finishing techniques remove the pits and surface impurities, many are retained to give it a preserved and original tonal quality. This cymbal's key quality is a fine pattern of lathing that stiffens the cymbal to create dry sounds.
