Zildjian K Constantinople Crash Ride 19" Crash Ride Cymbal
The K Constantinople Crash Ride 19" is a medium-thin, dark and expressive crash ride cymbal that you can hit for an accent or play like a ride. It often serves as a second ride, set up on the left, to vary colours without adding a large cymbal.
What sets it apart
- Dual purpose: crash and ride
- A left-side ride alternative
- Dark, expressive sound with more overtones
- Pin lathe on top and bottom
A left-side ride
Zildjian presents this 19" as a ride alternative for the left side of the kit. Placed above the hi-hat or the first tom, it lets you move from your main ride to a darker second voice, for a solo or a change of section, for example.
The K Constantinople character
It gets the line's newer hammering and pin lathe, and keeps the dark, expressive quality drummers look for in K Constantinoples. Its medium-thin weight makes it flexible enough to open up as a crash, firm enough to hold a pattern.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a crash ride?
- A cymbal built for both jobs: thin enough to open up as a crash when you hit the edge, firm enough to hold a ride pattern in the middle.
- What is a left-side ride?
- A second ride, placed on the hi-hat side for a right-handed player. It offers another pattern colour without changing position, often smaller or darker than the main ride.
- Crash ride or a dedicated ride?
- A dedicated ride, being heavier, keeps more consistent definition at high volume. The crash ride trades some of that precision for the ability to crash it freely.
