K Constantinople cymbals speak with the dark warm sound associated with Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey in the first half of the 20th Century. "Old Ks" first resurfaced during the 1950s and 1960s in set-ups of bebop era vanguard drummers like Elvin Jones.
K Constantinoples are hand-lathed by skilled artisans using old-style cutting tools. Pits and other surface impurities, that modern finishing processes remove, are retained, preserving the original tonal quality.

The 5-piece HCS 8/10/12/14/16 Smack Stack features five discs shaped to create a distinctive sound effect. The stack can be manipulated by adjusting the tension of the cymbal stand’s wing nut.  Increased tension produces a crisp attack and short decay ideal for quick accents, while a looser setting yields a longer sustain.  Works well when paired with a snare drum for enhanced back beats, or as an alternative to your snare altogether.  Use all five discs for a fuller sound and increased projection, or mix and match a few sizes to find the sound that suits you best.  The discs are sized 8”, 10”, 12”, 14” and 16”.
