Zildjian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The slight increase in metal in the formula (over the following lighter model) afforded a little extra projection, while the inherent pliability of the cymbal made it a good feeling ride. The low pitch spoke well in a low-volume acoustic setting and in the studio. It crashed; it rode."
Review written by T. Bruce Wittet ("Product Close-Up - New Zildjian K Constantinople Rides - Hitting The Old "K" Bull's-Eye", Modern Drummer, April 2004, p.31)
Review: "The three 20" models are known respectively as Thin High, Thin Low and Medium Thin Low (the first part of each name refers to the cymbal thickness, the second the tuning). All three cymbals are supremely responsive and the more you play into them, the more involved they become (as opposed to simply louder).
Sitting in between the two Thin models in pitch is the Medium Thin Low ride. Its extra weight and thickness imbues it with a brighter and louder response and a fraction less wash. Beneath the opening clarity sits a delicious low note."
