A Unique Ride

Zildjian worked closely with jazz drummer Adam Nussbaum to create the 20" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride cymbal - a complement to the 22" version on which they had previously collaborated. This time, though, they designed-in some novel attributes. The 20" Renaissance Ride sports a smaller, over-hammered bell, for a more contained sound that's less chimey and thoroughly integrated with the overall cymbal. The 20" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride cymbal is thin, versatile - and eminently crashable. It delivers clean stick definition and gives you the flexibility of alternating between ride patterns and crashing without overpowering the stick. Sweetwater drummers are liking the Zildjian 20" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride. A lot. We're betting you will, too.

Zildjian 20" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride Features at a Glance:
  • Great stick definition
  • Lush crashability
  • Smaller, over-hammered bell helps contain the overtones
  • Weight: thin

Fabulous Jazz Cymbal

Got this cymbal specifically for jazz and it is fabulous. Great articulation with just the right amount of wash. Thanks to my main man, Dan Robinson, who made sure I got delivery on this cymbal when it was out of stock for a while. He is the best!!

This is the reason Zildjian has been around so long

Zildjian is the world's oldest cymbal manufacturer. There are other more "boutique" cymbal manufacturers out there catering to drummers, charging an arm and a leg. But my thought Is: why bother with them? Zildjian's constantinople line is the pinnacle of cymbal making. All of the cymbals in this line sound phenomenal.

The renaissance ride Is perfect. I wanted something dark, crashable, yet defined. This cymbal checks all those boxes. Don't be scared away by the fact that this is often advertised as a "jazz cymbal". I use it extensively in recording and it sits SO well in a mix. Its definitely on the quiet-ish side, so maybe metal drummers wont find it useful, but for everyone else, i say go for it. Its a beautiful piece of zildjian craftsmanship.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
