Zildjian Sound Lab - 20" K Constantinople Bounce RIde

Welcome to Zildjian Sound Lab Videos. In this installment we talk about and play the 20" K Constantinople Bounce Ride with Paul Francis. He plays the cymbal and explains the differences of the 22" and 20" versions.

Here's a transcript of the video:

Paul Francis: Welcome to the Zildjian Sound Lab video, and today we're going to talk about something new for 2012. This is the K Constantinople 20" Bounce Ride. And this size was inspired by the very, very successful 22" K Constantinople Bounce Ride that we developed with Kenny Washington.

Now like the 22" version, the 20" version has the same bell, that was actually copied out of Kenny's old K, and it has a series of eight clusters. Now what's unique to the 20" Bounce Ride is that the clusters are smaller. So what we're going to do is retain some great stick definition and some very nice light, trashy qualities.

Like the 22" cymbal, the bottom is lathed like an A, and that's how Kenny's 22" was lathed. On the top you can see there's more of a pin tonal groove, and we've retained that in the 20". This one is a little bit higher pitched than the 22", and it fits nicely in the K Zildjian Constantinople series.
